The Opportunity: Build Something Special
If you are a high-performing attorney who feels like a number in a large firm, or if you are tired of being siloed into a single niche without client contact, MHR Lewis offers a different path. We are a highly sophisticated boutique firm that handles complex, high-stakes matters with the agility and personal touch that only a small, elite team can provide. We are looking for a Junior to Mid-Level Associate who doesn't just want to "bill hours," but wants to build a career, a reputation, and a book of business.

The Sophisticated Generalist: You enjoy the variety of shifting between a real estate closing, a corporate transaction, and a strategic commercial litigation filing.
The Relationship Builder: You genuinely enjoy people. You understand that law is a service business and you are eager to network, attend events, and cultivate professional relationships.
The Craftsman: You have impeccable credentials and take immense pride in your writing. Your briefs are persuasive, and your contracts are airtight.

Transactional Execution: Lead and support corporate formations, structuring, private client matters, and real estate transactions.
Strategic Litigation: Handle commercial and business litigation matters, from drafting pleadings to appearing in court.
Business Development: We dont just "allow" networking its expected and we support it. You will be encouraged (including financially) to begin building your own book of business with the firms full mentorship.
Qualifications
