Experience with first time homebuyer programs, construction documents and commercial leases is a plus.

The pay scale for associates at Burke ranges from $140,000 – $220,000 plus annual performance-based bonuses. The actual salary within that range will depend on the selected candidates’ years of practice and experience.

Burke is committed to a culture of inclusion. New associates are assigned to an “Associate Buddy” to assist with their transition to Burke. Our robust DEI Committee runs a Mentor Circles program that helps attorneys navigate through the firm and provides connection and enrichment opportunities, an Education Program that hosts periodic trainings, and a Civic Engagement Program that connects Burke attorneys with civic groups in the communities where we practice law.

Burke’s pro bono program affords attorneys opportunities to contribute in ways which are most meaningful to them both personally and professionally by giving associates billable credit for up to 40 hours of pro bono work.

Burke also supports attorneys’ business development goals by providing each associate with a yearly budget for attendance at continuing legal education and conferences.
