Job Description:

Small Business Litigation and Transaction Lawyer - Wichita, KS 67207
Job Description: Our attorneys represent small businesses in three roughly equal ways:

• Transactions: For example, Drafting LLC docs, Drafting Customer or Employee Contracts, Reviewing Vendor Contracts and Business Sale Agreements.
• Conflict Driven Cases: These are not yet in litigation but might be headed there. We do a lot of business "divorces", breach of contract matters and a bit of commercial collections.
• Litigation: These are the prior ramped up and at the courthouse.
  We do not do real estate, estate planning or securities. Over time our relationships with clients often develop into more of an outside general counsel role.
  Hours Expectations: Our attorneys bill 6 hours per day because we believe in Work-Life Balance. This is 1380 hour a year versus many firms with 1800 or 2000 expectations.
  Salary and Bonuses: Experienced attorneys can start as high as $140,000. Our salaries per hour worked are very competitive with national firms. Less experienced attorneys will naturally demand a lower starting salary, but we increase on six month step up. We have bonuses for:
  • Client Retention - This monthly bonus rewards our attorneys for repeat business based on a percent of repeat retainers brought in.
  • New Client - We also pay a monthly bonus based on a percent of new retainers brought in.
  • Hours Billed Over 6 Per Day - For hours billed and collected in excess of 6 per day we pay $150.
  • Meeting 1380 Hours - This annual bonus is 2.5% of base salary.
    Culture: Our Core Values are:
    • Believe and Protect Their Dreams: This applies first and foremost to helping our team members achieve their dreams. If we take care of our team they will take care of our clients!
    • Create Solutions: We are not problem bringers. We are here to help our team and clients fix issues and grow.
    • Constant Communication: Clients hate getting the Mushroom Treatment, which is getting fed BS and being kept in the dark. We do not do that nor do we deliver surprise invoices. We respect their pocketbooks and interests with built in communication routines.
    • Teamwork = Dreamwork: We play team ball and work together in our non-hierarchical culture that fosters collaboration withing the attorney teams and with the staff.
      Career Advancement and Additional Benefits: We recognize and reward our attorneys with the following distinctions:
      • Partnership: After five years with the firm attorneys become non-equity partners.
      • Senior Counsel: We use this title for any attorney with over ten years of experience.
      • Senior Lawyer: This is for attorneys that have been with us a year and practicing more than five years.
      • Business Lawyer: We use this title for the rest of the attorney team.
