Grow Alongside the Office

A Team Where People Help Each Other
We're intentionally building a culture around trust, camaraderie, communication, and mutual respect. We want attorneys who care about doing excellent work and who also believe being a great colleague matters.
You're comfortable working independently but appreciate having experienced attorneys available when you need them. We're open to attorneys with substantive civil litigation experience who are excited to develop their defense practice.
Experience with discovery, depositions, motion practice, case strategy, and trial preparation is valuable, and we're particularly interested in attorneys who want greater exposure to the courtroom as their careers progress.
There's something unique about joining an office while it's still being built.
