Attorneys (All Levels) - Law Firms Hiring Across the US

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a range of well-regarded law firms across the US that are actively growing their teams. From established solo and boutique practices to respected small and mid-size firms, these are businesses that invest in their attorneys, offer real progression, and value the people who do the work rather than treating them as billing units.

We are hiring at every level, from Junior Associate through to Senior Associate, Of Counsel and Partner-track , with live openings across our law-firm clients in 30 states including California, Florida, Texas, New York, Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington, Virginia, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, Colorado, Indiana, Tennessee, Maryland, Connecticut, Louisiana, South Carolina, Missouri, Alabama, Arizona, Minnesota, Oregon, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Utah and Oklahoma. Most roles are firm-based, on-site or hybrid near the office, with some remote possible where firms allow.

Whether you are ready for your next step up, want a firm that respects your time, or are simply after a better fit than where you are today, we would like to hear from you.

The Practice Areas

We have live openings across eight core practice areas:

  • Litigation
  • Real Estate
  • Corporate / Business
  • Trusts & Estates
  • Personal Injury
  • Family
  • Employment
  • Immigration

The Roles

We are hiring across the full ladder, including:

  • Junior Associate (1 to 3 years)
  • Mid-level Associate (3 to 6 years)
  • Senior Associate (6+ years)
  • Of Counsel
  • Partner / Partner-track (attorneys with a portable book of business are especially welcome)

What You Would Be Doing

(varies by level and practice area)

  • Managing your own caseload or matters, from intake through resolution
  • Drafting, reviewing and negotiating documents, pleadings, motions or agreements
  • Building and maintaining direct client relationships as a trusted advisor
  • Conducting legal research and staying current on developments in your practice area
  • Mentoring, training and reviewing the work of more junior attorneys and paralegals (Senior level and above)
  • Managing engagements, matter budgets and, where applicable, a book of business (Of Counsel and Partner level)

What We Are Looking For

  • A Juris Doctor (J.D.) and active bar admission in good standing in at least one US state
  • Currently practicing at a law firm (associates through senior and of counsel; partners with a portable book are welcome)
  • Experience in one or more of our eight practice areas
  • US citizen or work-authorized (these roles do not offer visa sponsorship)
  • Strong communication skills and a detail-oriented, client-focused approach

Compensation varies by market, firm size and practice area, these are indicative ranges rather than fixed figures.

  • Junior Associate (1 to 3 years): $80,000 to $130,000
  • Mid-level Associate (3 to 6 years): $110,000 to $165,000
  • Senior Associate (6+ years): $135,000 to $200,000
  • Of Counsel: $150,000 to $225,000

  • 10+ years' experience: $184,000 to $259,000
  • Partner / Partner-track: dependent on the firm and the size of your book

What Is on Offer

Benefits vary by firm, but our clients typically offer:

  • On-site and hybrid options to suit how you work best, with some remote roles where firms allow
  • Clear progression and genuine paths to Senior Associate, Of Counsel, and Partner
  • Ownership of real matters and direct client contact, not years of back-office grunt work
  • Ongoing professional development and CLE support
  • Strong benefits packages, including 401(k), health coverage and meaningful PTO
  • Collaborative, mentorship-led cultures with a sensible approach to workload
