Business & Civil Litigation Associate

The Firm. Knisley, PLLC is full service, business focused, firm that provides a robust range of legal services to small to medium-sized business, their owners, as well as their family and community. We strive to provide high-value, not high priced, legal services. Culture. High-quality work is prioritized over monitoring where you are working from. Work-life balance is critical to prevent burnout, which includes hybrid work, remote work, and firm-wide vacation/work-from-home during typical “spring break,” July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas-New Years time periods. This position will begin as an in office position and can then transition to working from home one to two days per week. The Position. This is an entry level (0-2 years) position as a Business & Civil Litigation Associate Attorney. The assignments will prioritize business, commercial, construction, and general civil litigation while still providing opportunities to gain experience in a wide range of firm practice areas and types. This position will serve as second chair on any litigation that goes to trial as well as lead associate. It is full-time, salaried, paid monthly, with opportunities for bonuses. It requires tracking and logging billable hours. Qualifications. The ideal candidate should have a high degree of attention to detail, be self-motivated and a self-starter, able to work without constant oversight, possess an equal interest in oral & written advocacy, and working for a multidisciplinary practice. We need a recent graduate that is motivated to hit the ground running and gain practical experience immediately. Unique Aspects. You will work directly with the Firm’s founder and receive constant one-on-one training. This is not a position where you will be sitting in a box, in the sky, drafting memos all day. We regularly meet clients in their offices. We strive to meet, face-to-face, with opposing counsel. This role provides an opportunity to join a new firm on the ground floor that is looking to grow. The Clients. Small to medium sized businesses share significant overlap with consumer clients and large corporate clients, for better and for the worse. Like consumer clients, even relatively small legal matters are high stakes and life altering. And, like corporate clients, being a business means the costs of goods and services are priced higher and the legal expectations are greater. Philosophy. We look to be the value proposition over other similar business law firms by pricing under the market average other business litigation firms and by being both a one-stop shop for a client’s legal needs—not just litigation and not just business law. #J-18808-Ljbffr Knisley, PLLC
