• Health Benefits Perks: Bar fees and insurance included, comprehensive health coverage, free parking, and yes—lunch on the sunny back deck
• Work-Life Balance: Office closures during holidays, bad weather, and even those days that are too nice to miss
• Pet-Friendly: Furry friends welcome

What We’re Looking For:
• 5+ years of experience and managing their own files
• Passed the Bar Exam
• Strong multitasking and prioritization skills
• A commitment to delivering top-tier client service
