Job Description

Are you looking for:

  • A firm that treats its professionals as essential, not incidental?
  • A stable, respected workplace with strong benefits, a year-end bonus opportunity, and leadership that recognizes your work?
  • A team-oriented culture where your attention to detail and commitment to quality actually matter?

Let Us Introduce Ourselves

Lippes Mathias is one of the nation's 200 largest law firms, with 400 professionals across 17 offices nationwide, including 230 attorneys. We've built a full-service business law practice with a national footprint and deep roots in each community we serve by investing in people who want to grow alongside the firm.

Joining our team means stepping into a culture that prioritizes accessible leadership, meaningful growth opportunities, and a work environment that respects your life outside the office. Support for our employees is something we take very seriously. In fact, "supportive" was the top word our employees used to describe our work environment on a recent anonymous survey.

We recognize that our firm would grind to a halt without the steadfast work of professionals like you, and that's why we've made it our commitment to cultivate and maintain an environment where you feel seen and supported. You'll work as a member of a team, not just for one.

If you're considering a move and wondering whether it's worth it, we'd like to make the case that it is. If you've been looking for a firm where the quality of the culture is surpassed only by the quality of the work, you may have found it.

Why You'll Love Working Here

We offer competitive pay, a year-end bonus opportunity, and a comprehensive benefits package that includes:

  • Medical, dental & vision, beginning your first month
  • Immediate eligibility for 401(k) and profit-sharing plan
  • Paid parental leave
  • Long-term disability (firm-paid)
  • Life/AD&D insurance

For roles at our downtown locations, firm-arranged parking is available. We also keep the break room stocked with complimentary snacks and beverages.
