Job description

Most litigation roles trap you in an endless cycle of firefighting-responding to lawsuits, grinding through discovery, and managing damage control long after the real decisions were made.

What if you could step in before the fire starts?

We're partnering with an elite construction law practice in Denver, CO to place a Construction Attorney (2 to 6 years of experience) who wants a true strategic desk.

This isn't a factory-model litigation role. A substantial portion of this practice is focused on front-end, high-stakes advice and counseling. You won't just be sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with commercial contractors and design-build clients to identify risks, manage change orders, and build frameworks that stop claims before they ever see a courtroom.

Why this role offers actual practice sustainability:

• True Variety: A balanced mix of pre-suit strategic counseling and high-level commercial litigation.
• Direct Mentorship: Learn front-end construction strategy alongside some of the top legal minds in the field (construction background is a huge plus, but not required if you have commercial litigation experience).
• Top-Tier Benefits: Fully funded employee healthcare (zero out-of-pocket costs), a 4% 401(k) match, and profit-sharing.
