Job description

We're hiring a dedicated, full-time Intake Attorney to be the first voice our VIP referral-source clients hear, and a resource to the firm's intake team.

This is a client-facing, phone-forward role. The people you speak with are already interested in working with us, so your job is to make a great first impression, explain who we are and how we work in plain English, answer their questions honestly, and confirm they want to move forward.

• Be the first point of contact for our VIP referral-source clients, taking their calls promptly so they always reach a real person.
• Run a brief, friendly intake call, usually under ten minutes. Introduce the firm, walk the client through what we do and what comes next, and answer questions clearly and honestly.
• Protect the integrity of every engagement. Clients sign a simple one-page digital agreement, and you confirm you have personally spoken with the named client before the firm countersigns. We never let a client sign blind, and a contract is not valid until the firm countersigns it.
• Serve as a resource to the firm's intake team, lending an attorney's judgment on questions that come up during intake.
• Hand every new matter off cleanly to intake, the case-management team, and the attorney handling the file.
• Bring warmth, empathy, and professionalism to every call. These are people in the middle of a stressful claim, and a great first conversation sets the tone for the whole relationship.

This is a fantastic first role for a newly licensed attorney or recent graduate who is eager to learn, grow, and be part of a dynamic team.

• Willingness to take your turn in a shared on-call rotation that includes evenings and rotational weekends.
