Client Strategy Attorney

Burnham Law Firm • Denver, CO

13d • Hybrid

About The Position

We're hiring a Client Strategy Attorney to be the first lawyer a client talks to on the worst day of their life. No billable hour requirement. No timesheet. You get paid to do the thing you actually went to law school for - sit with someone in trouble and help them understand where they stand. This is the most consequential seat in the firm. People call us in crisis - divorce, custody, and other trauma - and the first conversation decides whether they get help or stay stuck. You'll listen, assess, and give them a straight answer. You are supported by a team and we expect a learning curve. We've been there.
