*\*\*FULL-TIME or PART-TIME\*\**
*\*\*\*IN-PERSON or REMOTELY\*\*\**
You’ve poured your heart, energy, and soul into this legal profession.
You survived law school and found the intelligence and strength to power through the bar exam and passed.
Now, after years of fully dedicating yourself to the profession, you find yourself dragging your feet to go to work.
You love your clients, but the mountainous workload is bordering on malpractice as it is almost impossible for you to give each assigned case the requisite attention they need.
You have no meaningful support.
The few times you stood up for your humanity to your supervisor, you were frowned upon.
You have learned to just suck it up and do the grueling work.
But, it’s too much and unsustainable.
It is now personally insulting that your current job is taking the best of you at the expense of work-life-health-family balance.
It’s time, you think, for your work to be more meaningful, to give of yourself to clients and a company that will appreciate your humanity and respect your worth.
After all, you’re not just another cog in the wheel, but must be a respected part of the collective whole.
If you are looking for a career position where you can flourish as a professional, part of a team of big brains, big hearts, and big souls, that makes the world a better place one legal case at time, we invite you to check out the Sr.
