What We're Looking For

  • Illinois-licensed attorney
  • 3–5 years of experience (estate planning and/or residential real estate preferred)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • Collaborative, team-oriented culture where your contributions matter
  • Established referral network and consistent workflow
  • Opportunity to grow professionally as the firm continues to expand

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $100,000-$125,000 , depending on experience
  • Performance-based bonus opportunities
  • 15 days of PTO, plus paid holidays
  • SIMPLE IRA with employer match after two years of employment
  • Firm-paid attorney registration fees, mandatory CLE, and malpractice insurance
  • Mileage reimbursement for closings
