A bit about us:
We're a well-established, full-service New Jersey firm with a genuinely different culture. We're not a typical grind-it-out firm — we're a lifestyle practice that believes good lawyers do their best work when they're mentored, supported, and trusted to manage their own time. We have a billable target, but we care far more about quality work and long-term development than about clock-watching. Partners here see it as their job to feed associates work and train them properly, not throw them in the deep end.
Why join us?
Why Join Us
About the Role:
A rare opportunity to train in public finance under two of the most respected bond attorneys in the state. This is a specialized, long-runway practice — we're bringing someone on now to begin the learning curve as the group plans for the future. You'd work alongside senior paralegals who handle much of the mechanics, with room to grow into a deep specialty.
What We're Looking For:
Jobot is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We provide an inclusive work environment that celebrates diversity and all qualified candidates receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national origin, age (40 and over), disability, military status, genetic information or any other basis protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws. Jobot also prohibits harassment of applicants or employees based on any of these protected categories. It is Jobot’s policy to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws respecting consideration of unemployment status in making hiring decisions.
Sometimes Jobot is required to perform background checks with your authorization. Jobot will consider qualified candidates with criminal histories in a manner consistent with any applicable federal, state, or local law regarding criminal backgrounds, including but not limited to the Los Angeles Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring and the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.

By applying for this job, you agree to receive calls, AI-generated calls, text messages, or emails from Jobot, and/or its agents and contracted partners. Frequency varies for text messages. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You can reply STOP to cancel and HELP for help.

Why Join Us
- Real mentorship. We've watched the market produce a generation of associates who were never properly trained during remote-work years. We do it differently — you'll learn directly from senior partners who are among the most respected in their fields.
- Reasonable, quality-focused billables (target around 1,800), applied sensibly by team rather than rigidly across the board.
- Hybrid flexibility. Most teams are in the office more than not because that's where mentorship happens, but we're realistic about life — pick up your kids, make the soccer game, handle what you need to. As long as your team knows how to reach you, we trust you.
- A meaningful bonus structure: tiered productivity bonuses, origination bonuses on business you bring in, and discretionary bonuses that recognize pro bono work, big trials, and exceptional contributions. On our busiest teams, these can be substantial.
- A real path to partnership for those who want it.
About the Role:
A rare opportunity to train in public finance under two of the most respected bond attorneys in the state.

You'd work alongside senior paralegals who handle much of the mechanics, with room to grow into a deep specialty.
What We're Looking For:
- Roughly 2–5 years of experience
- A CPA or accounting/finance background is a plus — but we've also hired people with none of that who simply had genuine interest in bond work
- Curiosity and patience for a technical, specialized field
