What are the responsibilities and job description for the Appellate Attorney position at Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann, LLP?
Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann, LLP, an established litigation law firm in Baltimore, is seeking an Associate Attorney to join our rapidly growing appellate practice group. We believe that the best lawyers are happy lawyers, and we know that many superb legal writers are laboring in busy but often joyless BigLaw environments. The ideal candidate will have a passion for legal research and writing, own books by Bryan Garner, Ross Guberman, and Matthew Butterick, and have an existing opinion on the writing styles of Justices Kagan, Roberts, Ginsburg, and Gorsuch. If you consider “appellate nerd” a compliment, this may be the ideal place for you.
The successful candidate must be a gifted legal writer who is eager to continue developing these skills. Firm favors candidates with appellate and federal clerkship experience or sinking feeling that BigLaw’s mass-attrition business model does not fit their career goals and life. The ideal candidate wants to develop an appellate practice while working closely with excellent trial lawyers (often defending health care providers) and is ready to practice in Maryland, with D.C. and Virginia bar admission a strong plus.
Practice law where your hard work, lucid writing, and sharp analysis are warmly appreciated. Employees enjoy a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package which includes medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance, the potential for performance-based bonuses, a great work environment, an on-site fitness center, in-building parking, and maternity/paternity benefits.
When applying please upload a writing sample and provide professional references, or you may may email this information to Careers@gdldlaw.com. Applicants must apply directly, outside recruiting firms are not being utilized at this time.
Salary $120K-$160K. Reasonable accommodations are available for qualified candidates with disabilities, to request an accommodation please email careers@gdldlaw.com.
Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann is committed to diversity and inclusion, and has been recognized by Law360 as one of the top law firms for women in the United States. EOE
