Mackenzie Hughes LLP, one of the leaders in the Upstate New York legal community since 1884, has an opening for an associate attorney. Throughout our history we have stayed true to our founders’ goal of being more than just good lawyers; we are individuals who are active in our community, with values as strong as our knowledge of the law.
Mackenzie Hughes offers an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate to start their career at a firm that will give you experience in most areas of law and the chance to grow as an attorney.
