What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Attorney position at The Law Office of Jacob M. Chinnery, LLC?
Associate Attorney – The Law Office of Jacob M. Chinnery, LLC
The Law Office of Jacob M. Chinnery, LLC is a fast-growing, full-service firm with three offices across central Missouri. We are not a firm where you clock in, draft routine documents, and wait for someone to hand you responsibility. We are a firm where driven attorneys build real careers by doing real work: fast, effective, and with purpose. And we are genuinely excited to help you get there.
Along with our full-service nature, we handle meaningful, high-stakes matters. Our dedicated trial teams focus on sexual abuse litigation, personal injury, and workplace litigation. We don't shy away from a fight, and we don't settle just to move a file. Contact us to learn about our verdicts, settlements, and notable cases.
The Role
This is a full-time, on-site Associate Attorney position.
Responsibilities include:
- Advising clients and managing their matters from intake through resolution
- Representing clients in hearings, negotiations, and litigation
- Drafting pleadings, motions, and legal documents
- Conducting legal research and developing case strategy
- Negotiating settlements while always keeping maximum value in mind
You will be expected to take ownership of your cases, communicate proactively with clients, and push matters forward with urgency and precision. We move fast here, but we move together.
What We're Looking For
We want attorneys who are hungry and who have a desire grow to be greater than they are now. Specifically:
- You are self-driven.
- You hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone else could hold you to.
- You communicate with clients like their case is the most important thing on your desk. Because it is.
- You want to win, and you understand that winning takes both speed and quality.
- You thrive when given real responsibility, and you rise to meet it.
We are not a cutthroat environment. We don't pit our people against each other, and we don't let our staff sink in silence. What we do expect is that you show up ready to work, ready to learn, and ready to push yourself. If you bring that, we will bring everything we have to make you better.
What We Offer
We pour real time and energy into our people. Not just on day one, but continuously. Our attorneys receive hands-on mentorship, direct exposure to substantive legal work early in their careers, and a team that is genuinely invested in their development. We believe that leveling up our attorneys is how we level up our clients' results.
As we continue to grow rapidly across central Missouri, our best people grow with us. We promote from within, and we mean it.
Come join the fight.
