  • Advise clients on complex legal issues and keep them informed throughout the process.
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships.
  • Work collaboratively with attorneys and staff to provide exceptional legal representation.

What We're Looking For

  • J.D. from an accredited law school.
  • Active license and good standing with the Wisconsin state bar.
  • 5 years of litigation experience.
  • Strong background in civil litigation; trust and estates experience is preferred but not required.
  • Excellent legal research, writing, negotiation, and courtroom advocacy skills.
  • Ability to independently manage a substantial caseload.
  • Strong communication and client relationship skills.
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and motivated to provide excellent client service.

Compensation & Benefits

$150,000 base salary, plus:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off and firm holidays
  • Retirement plan
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Collaborative work environment
  • Long-term advancement opportunities

Partnership Opportunity

This position offers a clear path to partnership for the right attorney. The firm is looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career, develop strong client relationships, and play an important role in the continued growth of the practice.

If you're an experienced litigator ready for a new opportunity and interested in expanding your practice into trust and estates litigation, we'd like to hear from you. Please reach out to dan.krieger@gogpac.com with a resume to set up a discussion.
