  • Corporate Support: Assist with corporate due diligence for mergers and acquisitions.
  • Litigation Support: Provide critical support on litigation matters, including research, pleadings, discovery, and motion practice, and participate in mediations, hearings, and meetings.
  • Investigations: Participate in and conduct workplace investigations and employment audits.
  • Research: Conduct legal research and prepare memoranda on evolving employment law issues.
  • Collaboration: Collaborate with attorneys across the practice groups to handle complex client matters.

What We're Looking For

  • Education: Juris Doctor from an accredited university.
  • Licensed: Licensed to practice law in the state of Colorado required.
  • Skills: Strong research, writing, and analytical skills with excellent communication and client service abilities.
  • Attributes: Highly organized, reliable, and able to manage deadlines independently with sharp attention to detail.

  • Quarterly Bonus Potential - from 3% to 16% of total realized revenue with no billable hour requirements. Bonuses are tied to clear objective metrics, offering substantial earning potential for high performers.
  • Insurance: Comprehensive Medical (75% employer paid), Dental (50%), and Vision (50%).
  • Support: Life, Short-term, and Long-term Disability insurance (100% employer paid).
  • Financial Wellness: Attorney Student Loan Support Program and 401(k) with up to 3.5% employer match.
