We are currently seeking an associate attorney for a growing boutique litigation firm specializing in municipal/government agency defense as well as some criminal defense. Generally our cases range from Constitutional law issues, employment matters, and civil rights issues as well as special district law.

The firm represents clients primarily in federal court, including regularly in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. However, knowledge of state court procedure is also important, as the firm also regularly represents clients in various courts across the state of Colorado. Because of this, travel is sometimes necessary.

Effective legal writing skills are a must and appellate experience is preferred. The candidate must enjoy writing and experience working on a law journal would be an advantage. A willingness and desire to learn new skills and face new challenges is essential. The firm owner/manager has been working with, and training, new attorneys for over 20 years. Individuals seeking this position should be highly motivated self-starters, highly organized and deadline oriented, but also comfortable working in a team environment.

Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
