Associate Lawyer Wanted. Not Your Typical Firm.

at  Forward Law LLP

ASSOCIATE WANTED. NOT YOUR TYPICAL FIRM.

Ideally you will be a 2-3 year call and have an interest in continuing to build either a solicitor or litigation practice.
For a 2-3 year call our base salary ranges from $70,000 to $90,000, with an extremely generous bonus structure. Our minimum billable hour target is 1200 and our maximum is 1500. For this position, a 2-3 year call who collects 1500 hours in a year will receive total compensation of a minimum of $174,300 to a maximum of $204,300, depending on your hourly rate.

On top of that, we offer:

• A companionable office. We are a dog-friendly office, and so you are welcome to bring in your furry friend(s) up to a maximum of two, if they are well trained and don’t disturb others. We have done this for years, and everyone who works here loves our additional team members!
• Flexible work arrangements. As long as you live within comfortable commuting distance of the office and can come in when needed, we offer a pretty flexible work environment that allows for a mixture of an in-office and work from home to fit your working style. Some associates choose to work in office every day, others spend more time working at home.
• Real mentorship. We have all had good mentors and we see it as part of our professional duty to pay that forward to you at the early stage of your career.
• Friendly partners. You won’t hate your life or go home and cry at night because of partner pressure.
• Friendly staff and colleagues. A relaxed and welcoming culture that you will enjoy being a part of. It’s a nice feeling when you know that someone will always be there for you if you need help.
• Interesting work. You’ll receive files and work on causes that you care about.

While our preference is for a 2-3 year call, we will consider lawyers with more or less experience.
