Join Our Team: Transactional Associate Attorney (3-5 Years of Experience)

Are you ready to trade big-city stress for the ability to hike, run, fish, or jump on your mountain bike from the office and lead a balanced lifestyle without sacrificing opportunities to advance your career and earn a competitive income?

If you are a transactional associate attorney with 3-5 years of experience, Principle Law, located in the vibrant mountain community of Salida, CO, may have the perfect offer for you.

Principle Law is a boutique business law firm that is rapidly expanding and on the lookout for a talented and ambitious individual to join our team. Our firm offers a unique blend of professional opportunity and natural beauty, providing an ideal setting for both personal and professional growth.

This role provides the opportunity to work on a wide variety of transactions for emerging and established companies, including mergers and acquisitions, corporate formation and governance, equity financings, and general corporate matters. You'll work in direct collaboration with the Managing Attorney providing high-level cross-functional support in corporate governance and commercial transactions.

Principle Law attorneys work hard but lead a balanced lifestyle and have opportunities to get out and relax or adventure in nature.

Position Highlights:

  • Licensure: Must be a licensed attorney with a juris doctor from an accredited law school. Out of state applicants are welcome, but licensure in Colorado will be required of any out-of-state applicants.
  • Experience Required: 3-5 years in transactional business law. More or less experience will be considered for candidates who are otherwise a good fit. Candidates should possess a strong foundation in business transactions, with skills ranging from negotiating and drafting commercial agreements, to real estate transactions, to advising on corporate governance.
  • Book of Business: Not required. Principle Law is growing and has a strong referral network. We understand that you're in the early stages of your career. What matters to us is your potential and your ability to contribute to our team's success. We do, however, offer additional compensation for attorneys generating new business for the firm, and you will have the opportunity to earn additional income and become deeply involved in the community working with Principle Law.
  • Location: Salida, Colorado. Known for its stunning landscapes, outdoor activities, historic downtown, and engaging community events, Salida is a place that offers a remarkable quality of life. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or someone who appreciates small-town charm with a creative twist, you'll find Salida to be the perfect place to live and work.
  • Remote Flexibility: Understanding the challenges of relocation, we offer the flexibility to start this position remotely. This allows you the time you need to transition to Salida without missing a beat in contributing to our firm's goals.

Principle Law is committed to providing our clients with big firm results with small firm attention. We handle a wide range of transactional and litigation matters for businesses, from startups to well-established privately-held companies.

This position is a fantastic opportunity for those who are eager to take on responsibility, hone their legal skills, and make a tangible impact in a dynamic practice environment.
