At Goodwin, we work with some of the world’s most successful and innovative investors, entrepreneurs and disruptors in the life sciences, private equity, real estate, technology and financial industries, and where they converge. As part of the Global Operations Team – all business professionals at the firm – you’ll collaborate with colleagues from varied backgrounds and experiences, fostering an environment where cross-functional learning, networking, and collaboration are at the core of what we do. Here, we’re not just supporting a law firm; we’re partnering with attorneys and clients to deliver cutting-edge solutions in high-stakes litigation and dispute resolution, world-class regulatory compliance and advisory services, and complex transactions. Our commitment to integrity, ingenuity, agility, and ambition drives us, and we’re proud to have been recognised as the “Best Business Team” by The American Lawyer.

As a Strategic Pricing Co-op, you will be an integral member of Goodwin’s Strategic Pricing team. Goodwin is recognized as a global leader in redefining how law firms approach pricing, client value, and fee arrangements. In this role, you’ll support attorneys and business professionals in developing pricing proposals, building matter budgets, monitoring alternative fee arrangements (AFAs), and contributing to long-term projects that align with your interests and team priorities. AFAs are tailored pricing structures designed to provide predictability and value for clients while aligning with the firm’s business goals—an area where you will gain direct exposure. This role offers the opportunity to build core skills in financial modeling, project tracking, and data analysis in a professional services environment.
