Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClaire Schlessinger is a law student at CUNY Law and a former senior product and engineering leader who transitioned to labor law after a decade in tech. She brings hands-on experience building platforms, CMS, and rapid-response civic products—from launching an MVP vaccine notification service with 300k signups to leading a frontend rewrite and 0-to-1 CMS at The New York Times. Her union leadership as a shop steward and bargaining committee member at the Times Tech Guild motivates her focus on labor law and disability justice, blending practical organizing with legal advocacy. Comfortable with technical ambiguity and stakeholder-heavy environments, she translates complex technical systems into policy-forward legal work. Based in New York, she pairs rigorous legal research and drafting (including judicial trial decisions) with a deep empathy for workers shaped by lived organizing experience.
