• Why This Role Stands Out
• 1. Focus Solely on Practicing Law

We didn’t become lawyers to manage accounting, marketing, collections, or sales—we became lawyers to

We’ve built a comprehensive support system so you can focus entirely on delivering exceptional legal outcomes :

• 5 : 1 support staff-to-trial attorney ratio

• for ALRs, ODLs, billing, and administrative functions
• ALR hearings
• managed exclusively by dedicated specialists
• Strategic case assignments
• to reduce travel time and align with your strengths
• Remote work flexibility
• when not in court—so your time is spent serving clients, not commuting

• without unnecessary distractions
• 2.

• —no junior associates or entry-level hires. Our lawyers average over a decade of experience, and collaboration is at the heart of our culture.

Clients benefit from the collective strength of our entire team, and attorneys thrive in a

• supportive, high-performance environment
• —not as lone wolves.
• 5.
• Be Part of a Visionary Growth Story
