Are you willing to make sacrifices and manage stress in exchange for greater autonomy, more professional opportunities, and higher financial upside? The attorney will demonstrate hard work and sacrifice, not expecting others to do things they are unwilling to do themselves. The attorney will hold themselves and others, including the Team Leader, to high standards and be relentless in doing what needs to be done to achieve exceptional results for every client.
