If you are interested in playing a key role in advancing this culture and vision, please apply today to join the team.

Success Behaviors:

Through over 14 years of experience, we have learned that professionals with the following values and behaviors succeed in our culture:

Focused on delivering high-quality client service through a team effort (e.g., you are a great team player)
Ability to “get stuff done” with a positive attitude and fast pace
Conscientious attention to detail
Ability to think outside the box to execute on projects based on end goal versus adhering to a detailed road map
Proactive problem solving
Attitude consistent with our core values — (i) great attitude... puts others first; (ii) driven to make an impact; (iii) always open to a better way; (iv) courage to do the right thing; and (v) someone you can count on

For this role, the attorney must be willing to prioritize the work of the team over individual performance. In other words, this is a “team first” position. “Lone rangers,” “screamers,” “jerks,” and “control freaks” will not succeed in this role.
