• contributing to a growing team and supporting junior lawyers as the firm scales; and
• aligned with client values - the firm only works with clients who reflect their values and ethical standards.

• a competitive salary from ($125-175k) based on PAE;
• a future leadership opportunity, with equity potential for the right person; and
• a collaborative, value-driven team doing meaningful work with great clients.
