Joshua Kalish

Chief Financial Officer & Director of Client Services
The Noble Law Firm

Josh Kalish joined The Noble Law employment law firm full-time in 2015, after several years in an advisory capacity, to lead the development of Client Service Digital Capabilities. He also leads the outreach efforts to promote the firm’s growing legal services offerings.

Already a near-paperless employment law firm when Josh joined, The Noble Law has migrated to an advanced Client-centric case management system. The new case management approach reflects the Firm’s vision to be on the cutting edge of legal technology as well as our values on the importance of communication in our client-attorney relationships.

New clients can request a consultation online or can complete an intake with a paralegal and get a managing partner response back the same day. Our dedicated Client Portal allows confidential documents, including video and audio files, to be securely shared. Reflecting our focus as a boutique firm on being accessible to our clients, the portal provides secure messaging directly to our dedicated attorneys and paralegals on the case.

The productivity of our employment attorneys is also greatly enhanced, giving us a competitive advantage for both employer and employee matters. Synchronized calendaring, emails, document management, time tracking, online bill pay, team collaboration, and automated workflow engines greatly accelerate our employment law firm’s speed and effectiveness in representing our client’s interests.

Josh has more than 20 years of management consulting, finance and business strategy insights. He brings to The Noble Law his experience in managing successful financial and technology projects on Wall Street, as well as leading numerous start-up ventures in New York and RTP. To give back to the community, Josh has proudly been a mentor-coach for over eight years at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler MBA and Executive MBA Entrepreneur programs. In his spare time, he enjoys tennis, yoga, playing with his basement band, and traveling to tournaments as a nationally-ranked Tae Kwon Do referee.
