Job description

Are you looking for:

  • A firm where your work is substantive, your contributions are valued, and your growth is supported?
  • A stable, people-focused workplace with long-tenured colleagues, accessible leadership, and a year-end bonus opportunity?
  • Strong benefits from day one and a culture that respects your life outside the office?


Let Us Introduce Ourselves

Lippes Mathias is one of the nation's 200 largest law firms, with 400 professionals across 17 offices nationwide, including 230 attorneys.

We recognize that our firm would grind to a halt without the steadfast work of professionals like you, and that's why we've made it our commitment to cultivate and maintain an environment where you feel seen and supported. You'll work as a member of a team, not just for one.


If you're considering a move and wondering whether it's worth it, we'd like to make the case that it is. If you've been looking for a firm where the quality of the culture is surpassed only by the quality of the work, you may have found it.

We offer competitive pay, a year-end bonus opportunity, and a comprehensive benefits package that includes:

  • Medical, dental & vision, beginning your first month
  • Immediate eligibility for 401(k) and profit-sharing plan
  • Paid parental leave
  • Long-term disability (firm-paid)
  • Life/AD&D insurance

For roles at our downtown locations, firm-arranged parking is available. We also keep the break room stocked with complimentary snacks and beverages.
