Job description

Business Litigation and Transaction Lawyer - $150,000+ bonuses, described below - Denver/Wheat Ridge, CO 80033

Hours Expectations: Our attorneys bill 6 hours per day because we believe in Work-Life Balance. This is 1380 hour a year versus many firms with 1800 or 2000 expectations.

Job Description: Our attorneys:

Represent small businesses in three roughly equal ways:

  • Transactions: Entity formations, contracts, agreements and licensing. For example, Secretary of State filings, Drafting LLC docs, Drafting Customer or Employee Contracts, Reviewing Vendor Contracts and Business Sale Agreements.
  • Conflict Driven Cases: Handle conflicts between parties. We do a lot of business “divorces”, breach of contract matters and a bit of commercial collections. For example, demand and cease & desist letters. These are not yet in litigation but might be headed there.
  • Litigation: These are the above that will be or are filed at the courthouse. The attorney needs to be able to take a matter from Petition/Answer through the closure which might include appearances at various court proceedings or final hearing, collections or negotiations.
  • We do not do real estate, estate planning or securities. Over time our relationships with clients often develop into more of an outside general counsel role.

Answer prospective client calls and confidently provide information and plan to turn into a client.

Produce quality and thoughtful communications, legal documents and pleadings.

Through commitment and discipline actively work matters and prospective clients to reach expectations, including adding time daily and moving matters toward completion

Salary and Bonuses: Experienced attorneys can start as high as $150,000 with bonuses. Our salaries per hour worked are very competitive with national firms. Less experienced attorneys will naturally demand a lower starting salary, but we increase on six month step up based on performance.

We have bonuses for:

  • New Client – This monthly bonus is based on a percent of new initial retainers brought in by the attorney.
  • Client Retention - This monthly bonus rewards our attorneys for repeat business based on a percent of repeat initial retainers brought in.
  • Hours Billed Over 6 Per Day - For hours billed and collected in excess of 6 per day, we pay $150.
  • Meeting 1380 Hours - This annual bonus is 2.5% of base salary.

Culture: Our Core Values are:

Believe and Protect Their Dreams: This applies first and foremost to helping our team members achieve their dreams. If we take care of our team they will take care of our clients!

Create Solutions: We are not problem bringers. We are here to help our team and clients fix issues and grow.

Constant Communication: Clients hate getting the Mushroom Treatment, which is getting fed BS and being kept in the dark. We do not do that nor do we deliver surprise invoices. We respect their pocketbooks and interests with built in communication routines.

Teamwork = Dreamwork: We play team ball and work together in our non-hierarchical culture that fosters collaboration withing the attorney teams and with the staff.

Career Advancement and Additional Benefits: We recognize and reward our attorneys with the following distinctions:

· Partner: After five years with the firm attorneys become non-equity partners.

· Senior Counsel: Less than five years with the firm but attorney has over ten years of experience.

· Senior Lawyer: Less than five years with the firm but attorney has over five years of experience.

· Business Lawyer: All others.

**PLEASE APPLY TO BE CONSIDERED**
