Job Description:
Are you a Tennessee-licensed criminal defense attorney looking
to take the next step in your career?
Are you a solo lawyer, tired of bouncing between practice areas,
fed up with the business side of your practice, and wishing you
could focus on the legal side of criminal defense exclusively?
Are you an associate attorney who has had enough of the
micro-management and can't-do attitude of your boss's conventional
wisdom, or a public defender or assistant prosecutor frustrated
with an unrealistic caseload and lack of support?
We're looking for you.--
Our firm is hiring an Associate Attorney who will assist in all
aspects of criminal casework and client care, eventually handling a
full caseload with minimal supervision, clear direction, and ample
support. The ideal candidate will have at least two years of
criminal defense experience.--
If you're ready to accelerate your growth and take a position with
advancement opportunities in a growing firm, apply now. Candidates
will be interviewed on a rolling basis, and when the right person
appears, we will extend an offer within days, not weeks.--
We're not like other firms.
You will adhere to high expectations for professionalism, five-star
client service, team-based casework, creative problem-solving, and
meticulous, process-oriented workflows.----
And, we will give you the support and resources to meet our high
standards.--
Your bar fees, professional privilege tax, and annual CLE
requirements will be covered. Your development in handling larger
and more serious cases will be encouraged. You will have a private,
third-floor office with a gated parking pass in our downtown
Memphis location, just four blocks from the courthouse.
Our goal for you is to become a self-sufficient trial lawyer
capable of first-chairing the most serious trials while also
growing in your leadership skills to help associates who come
behind you.--
Compensation offered will be commensurate with your experience,
passion, and demonstrated potential, ranging from $72,500 to
$83,500 annually, with performance-based raises considered after
your first six months and thereafter annually. Health, Vision, and
Dental Benefits are offered. You will receive a high-performance
laptop, large-screen desk monitor, Westlaw, and an annual training
and reference material budget in addition to coverage of your
annual CLE requirements. We use internet phone lines that route to
your desk phone, your mobile device, or your laptop permitting
remote work as needed. After a 90-day probationary period,
work-from-home flexibility will be permitted so long as you
continue to meet your performance requirements.
Responsibilities:
--- Attend court settings, negotiate with prosecutors, and conduct
preliminary hearings

--- Adhere to internal law-firm guidelines and standards to ensure
consistent, excellent service is given to each client
--- Contribute to the development and implementation of systems,
processes, and checklists in a growing law firm that believes in
