Associate Attorney - Baltimore, United States - Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann, LLP
Description
Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann, LLP, an established litigation law firm in Baltimore, is seeking an Associate Attorney to join our growing appellate practice group. The ideal candidate will have a passion for legal research and writing, own books by Bryan Garner, Ross Guberman, and Matthew Butterick, and have an existing—possibly even strong—opinion on the writing styles of Justices Kagan, Roberts, Ginsburg, and Gorsuch.
The successful candidate must be a gifted legal writer who is eager to continue developing these skills. Firm favors candidates with appellate and federal clerkship experience or sinking feeling that BigLaw's mass-attrition business model does not fit their career goals and life. The ideal candidate wants to develop an appellate practice while working closely with excellent trial lawyers (often defending health care providers) and is ready to practice in Maryland, with D.C. and Virginia bar admission a strong plus.
Goodell's appellate practice group is a place where your inner nerd can blossom and legal work can be fun again. Work with smart, considerate people who appreciate your talents and want to help you grow them. The best lawyers are happy lawyers.
Employees enjoy a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, which includes medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance, the potential for performance-based bonuses, a great work environment, an on-site fitness center, and maternity/paternity benefits. There's even free in-building parking near the Inner Harbor.
Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann is committed to diversity and inclusion, and has been recognized by Law360 as one of the top law firms for women in the United States. EOE
