Attorney

Every attorney carries a mix of litigation and transactional work. Clients walk in without appointments more often than you might think. We started in 2017 and have grown to about 49 people. Business attire in court, business casual in the office.

The person in this role is relocating, so we are hiring a replacement. The Attorney handles a caseload in our Insurance Defense practice from intake through resolution, with support from a paralegal and a legal assistant. We are looking for an attorney who can manage their own files, take depositions and argue motions without hand-holding. This is a hybrid role. Most of the team is in the Lincoln office Tuesday to Thursday.

Day to day:

• Attend client development events and bar association functions.
• Manage a caseload of 40 to 60 active matters.
• Draft pleadings, motions, briefs and discovery.
• Track billable time daily and meet annual hour targets.
• Appear at hearings, mediations, arbitrations and trials.
• Review contracts, wills, deeds or other transactional documents, depending on practice area.

Qualifications:

• Strong legal research and writing skills.
• Deposition and motion practice experience.
• Comfortable with clients, opposing counsel and judges.
• Experience with Clio, Filevine or another case management system.
• Licensed to practice in Nebraska and in good standing.

What we offer:

Pay: $138,000 to $169,000 per year

• Health insurance.
• 401(k) with a 100% match up to 5%.
• Paid time off.
• Hybrid work.
