Job Description

Bankruptcy Attorney

Dayton, OH | Full-Time | On-Site (with some work-from-home flexibility)

Looking for a place to grow your bankruptcy practice, with an attainable partnership track and a deep support team behind you? This Dayton role pairs meaningful bankruptcy and restructuring work with productivity bonuses, profit sharing, and long-term career stability.

In association with a reputable, established firm with a strong bankruptcy and creditors' rights practice, Protem Legal is pleased to present this opportunity for a Lateral or Associate Attorney with 2+ years of bankruptcy experience.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• An attainable partnership track
• Productivity bonuses and profit sharing
• A large secretarial and paralegal support staff to keep you productive
• Relocation reimbursement for candidates moving to the area
• Some work-from-home flexibility when needed
• A team-focused firm that values long-term relationships with clients and employees

About the Role

You'll join an established team of respected attorneys in Dayton and grow your own practice in bankruptcy and secured transactions. The work mixes legal research, drafting, negotiation, and direct client representation, so strong communication matters as much as technical skill.

What You'll Do

• Advise and represent clients through bankruptcy matters and related secured transactions
• Research and resolve bankruptcy law issues
• Draft and negotiate the documents that move matters to resolution
• Work on commercial and consumer bankruptcy cases and out-of-court restructurings
• Build lasting client relationships and grow your practice
• Collaborate with colleagues and support staff as part of a close team

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of bankruptcy experience
• Experience with legal research on bankruptcy law and secured transactions
• Strong legal drafting and negotiation skills
• Excellent communication skills for client interaction and representation
• Licensed to practice law in Ohio state and federal courts
• An outgoing, collaborative, team-first approach

Helpful Experience

• Commercial and consumer bankruptcy practice
• Out-of-court restructurings

Work Environment

This is a full-time, in-office position in Dayton, with some work-from-home flexibility as needed. The firm encourages people to build their careers there and values long-term relationships with clients, employees, and the community.

The benefits package includes:

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• A 401(k) with matching and profit sharing
• Short- and long-term disability and life insurance
• HSA, FSA, and dependent care FSA
• Paid parental leave and mental health programs
• An employee referral bonus program

Compensation

Pay will be discussed during the interview process and is based on qualifications and experience.
