• Prepare pleadings, motions, discovery, and other legal documents and represent clients in court, negotiation, mediation, and other proceedings.
• Meet with prospective clients as part of the firm's intake process. Attorneys are not expected to independently market for clients, and bonus incentives are available for successful new client hires.

Qualifications

• Active Colorado law license or imminent Colorado Bar admission.
• Prior practice and litigation experience preferred, but new attorneys are encouraged to apply .
• Bilingual candidates are strongly considered.
• Strong communication, organization, legal writing, and case management skills.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with attorneys and support staff.
