A bit about us:

We are a growing, mid-sized Columbus law firm with a nationwide practice and a strong reputation for delivering results for our clients. We combine the resources and sophisticated work of a larger firm with the accessibility, collaboration, and personal attention of a smaller practice.
Our attorneys work across a broad range of civil matters, including:

• Business and commercial litigation
• Employment law
• Construction
• Transportation and logistics
• Appeals
• Real estate
• Government relations
• General business and transactional matters

The firm has experienced significant growth, adding five attorneys in the past 18 months, including three associates, with plans to continue expanding.

Why join us?

Why Join Us?

• Meaningful responsibility early: Work on substantive matters rather than spending years on the sidelines.

• Build your own practice: We actively encourage associates to develop client relationships and originate business, with genuine firm support along the way.
• Hands-on mentorship: Learn directly from experienced attorneys in a collegial, entrepreneurial environment.
• Growing platform: Join a firm that is actively expanding its team and footprint.
• Competitive package: Compensation is based on experience and includes a comprehensive benefits package.
