$350 per monthGoodwin Recruiting
Are you an established Employment Law Partner, solo practitioner, or small firm owner looking for a larger platform to grow your practice without giving up the independence you've built?

This opportunity is particularly attractive to solo practitioners, boutique firm owners, and partners who have built successful practices but want to spend less time managing the business of law and more time serving clients and generating revenue.
