Job Details
Position:
LAW CLERK
Company:
Illinois Bone & Joint Institute (IBJI) - Park Ridge, IL , United States
Job Description:
Why This Role
Illinois Bone & Joint Institute (IBJI) is the largest independent orthopedic group in the Midwest with over 150 physicians and more than 100 locations across Chicagoland. Our Legal Department is small and high-trust, and our Law Clerk Program offers hands-on experience with the legal and business issues facing a healthcare organization. You will work directly with the General Counsel and legal team on research, contracts, compliance, and active matters, developing the judgment and practical skills that connect law school to in-house practice.
What You'll Own
- Legal Research and Analysis — research healthcare, corporate, employment, and other legal issues; prepare concise memoranda that identify relevant authority, explain the analysis, and flag practical considerations for attorney review.
- Contract and Document Support — assist with drafting and reviewing agreements, correspondence, and policies; compare revisions, identify issues, and support contract routing, execution, tracking, and renewal.
- Compliance and Policy Support — research state and federal requirements, help review policies and compliance materials, and assist with regulatory updates and employee training resources.
- Litigation and Matter Support — help prepare chronologies, document summaries, and materials for litigation, subpoenas, claims, and internal reviews; organize files and track assigned deadlines.
- Legal Operations and Special Projects — support contract-management systems, corporate records, and department projects; assist with meeting preparation, correspondence, and other administrative needs of the General Counsel’s office.
Why You'll Want to Stay
- Practical experience — work on real matters spanning healthcare law, compliance, contracts, and corporate legal operations, with opportunities to see how legal advice informs business decisions.
- Mentorship and feedback — develop research, writing, and analytical skills through assignments and feedback from experienced legal professionals.
- Access to leadership — work with the General Counsel and, as appropriate, interact with physicians, business leaders, and outside counsel; observe selected meetings and negotiations.
- A headquarters built for the job — easy on-site parking, a complimentary on-site gym, and a walkable location minutes from downtown Park Ridge restaurants and the Metra train.
- A team that invests in its people — regular team activities and a strong department culture.
What We're Looking For
- Current enrollment in an accredited law school and strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills.
- Interest in healthcare law or in-house practice. Relevant coursework or prior experience is helpful but not required.
- Attention to detail, sound judgment, discretion with sensitive information, and a willingness to learn and incorporate feedback.
- Ability to manage competing assignments, meet deadlines, communicate progress, and work effectively with attorneys and business colleagues.
- Comfort with Microsoft Office and legal research tools, plus a willingness to learn contract- and document-management systems.
- Availability for a part-time schedule across three to four days per week. On-site work is preferred; a hybrid arrangement may be available.
