Job Description

It's on your mind every single day.

You could stay where you are, or you could leave.

You can show up to an unappreciative employer and an unfulfilling job again tomorrow, or not.

You can deal with your toxic coworkers again tomorrow, or not.

Are you an experienced Corporate Attorney or litigator looking for something different? Something better? Would you like to work with a modern law firm that values creativity, teamwork, and helping others? What about a new challenge and an innovative way to practice law? How about working with a dynamic team of legal professionals who appreciate you and a firm that rewards your skills, expertise, and work ethic? If so, an exceptional opportunity awaits you.

Why You'll Love Working With Us:

• Team Spirit : Join a supportive team that knows how to work hard and have fun. We celebrate successes together and support each other every step of the way.
• Growth Opportunities : We’re committed to your professional development, offering plenty of opportunities to learn and grow.

Those chosen will earn a competitive salary and benefits package, operate in a flexible (hybrid remote) and supportive environment, have access to cutting-edge legal software, technology, and equipment, and have the opportunity to be an active contributor in a firm constantly striving to improve.

The ideal candidate will have at least 5 years of varied experience in civil litigation, corporate counsel, or as general counsel at a sizeable organization. The candidate should have superior writing and communication skills, strong analytical abilities, and a proven track record of success.
