Job Overview

Our law firm is seeking a motivated and client-focused Associate Attorney to join our team on a contract basis, handling cases in the practice areas of employment and personal injury.

• Active license to practice law in the State of Montana in good standing
• 2–5 years of experience preferred
• Familiarity with FLSA, Title VII, the Montana Human Rights Act, and related employment statutes is a plus
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to manage a caseload independently and meet deadlines without close supervision
• Comfortable working in a technology-driven environment

Disclosures

• This is not an employee position; you will be responsible for your own taxes, benefits, and health insurance
• You will be required to sign an Independent Contractor Agreement prior to beginning work
• All work must comply with the Montana Rules of Professional Conduct and applicable bar requirements

Compensation
