We are a boutique personal injury firm looking to hire another lawyer. The job will include a mix of prelitigation and litigation cases.

• Ability to prioritize
• Ability to multi-task

You will be handling a mixed caseload of pre-litigation and litigation personal injury cases. There will also be a mix of working on cases that you are responsible for as well as assisting other attorneys with discrete issues on other cases.

This position will generally take up 40 hours per week with some small exceptions throughout the year. It will likely take somewhat more time than that to get up to speed on the cases. But once you are up and running, that is the expectation outside of work crunches before trials and other deadlines.

Hybrid work is the norm at our firm. We have case review meetings on Mondays where everyone is in the office. After that it is a mix of in office and work from home. Having said that, we do expect candidates to have an interest in working in Northern Colorado. We ve tried to hire Denver attorneys in the past and have them commute a couple of days a week.

It hasn t been a long-term success for us, so we re not planning to do that again. We might make an exception for an ideal candidate, but we d prefer to hire someone who is based in or near Northern Colorado or who is interested in moving into the area.

We are a boutique personal injury law firm based in Fort Collins, Colorado. Our caseload is a mix of typical personal injury cases (MVA s, falls, etc) along with a significant number of carbon monoxide and other toxic exposure cases. We litigate and try a significant number of cases, so if you re looking to get into the courtroom, we may be a good fit.
