Requirements:
  • Licensed to practice law in Illinois (Indiana license is a bonus)
  • Comfortable with 2100 annual billable hours
  • Organized, proactive, and client-focused
What You'll Get:

  • Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and more
  • Supportive team environment with real growth opportunities
  • Established caseload and strong administrative support
