Legal Assistant & Paralegal

Who We Are:

Endeavor is a global sports and entertainment company, home to many of the world’s most dynamic and engaging storytellers, brands, live events, and experiences. The Endeavor network specializes in talent representation through entertainment agency WME; sports operations and advisory, event management, media production and distribution, and brand licensing through IMG; live event experiences and hospitality through On Location; full-service marketing through global cultural marketing agency 160over90; and sports data and technology through IMG ARENA and OpenBet. Endeavor is also the majority owner of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE: TKO), a premium sports and entertainment company comprising UFC and WWE.

Endeavor is seeking an assistant to two senior lawyers at Endeavor, a sports, media, and entertainment company. Part of the job will involve supporting SVP & Associate GC to the company’s client representation business, including the WME talent agency and Endeavor’s fashion representation management companies – IMG Models, The Wall Group and Art + Commerce. 

The other portion of the role involves supporting the SVP & Associate GC for Endeavor’s employment law practice in the Americas, working with all businesses under the Endeavor umbrella on employee-related legal matters. Though this is an assistant-level position, there will be opportunities for the right candidate to engage in meaningful work relating to talent endorsement agreements, talent regulatory matters, employment disputes, and employment agreements. The ideal candidate has graduated from law school, has strong legal acumen, some familiarity with talent contracts or employment, and an insatiable desire to learn more. Deals you will be assisting with include talent agreements, employment agreements, and employment policies.

The job entails basic administrative assistant work (rolling calls, maintaining a calendar, tracking projects, and preparing and maintaining client files), but the right candidate will also be able to handle substantive work under the direction of two executives. The exact scope of responsibility will depend on the candidate’s demonstrated capabilities. This is a unique opportunity for anyone interested in learning about business affairs at a major agency.
