Our Colorado office works in pods, so we are especially drawn to people who show up reliably for their colleagues, communicate openly, and stay genuinely open to feedback and mentorship as they grow. After onboarding, attorneys may work remotely or in a hybrid capacity, provided they can reliably attend assigned in-person hearings, mediations, and trials in Colorado. Candidates located in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, or within a reasonable travel distance to assigned courts are encouraged to apply. Compensation Base compensation ranges from $95,000 to $130,000 annually, depending on experience. Attorneys also participate in a transparent, performance-based bonus structure.
