Cohen Cunningham DeRose Higgins Lyon LLP was founded on a shared vision: to build the kind of law firm we always knew was possible - one rooted in excellence, integrity, and mutual respect. This foundation will continue to strengthen as we grow with careful intent to preserve our core values that make us who we are.We bring deep expertise, a collaborative culture, and an unwavering belief that high performance and human connection can (and should) coexist.

At Cohen Cunningham, Inspired Advocacy isn’t just a tagline - it’s who we are. We’re building a firm where talent, integrity, and humility matter in equal measure.

We provide competitive compensation and benefits. We offer Community. Mentorship. Growth. A place where your contributions matter and diverse perspectives make us all stronger. We take the practice of law seriously. Ourselves? Not so much.

This position will play a key role in supporting the Firm’s growth and implementing our strategic vision by identifying, attracting, and recruiting talented attorneys and staff to join our team. This is a highly visible, relationship-driven role that requires a proactive approach to recruiting, a strong understanding of the legal market, and the ability to build meaningful relationships with candidates and Firm leadership. Our ownership group and C‑suite leadership bring decades of collective experience across leading law firms ranging from 250 to 1,500 attorneys. We spent a year intentionally building Cohen Cunningham around the lessons we learned - both positive and challenging – and from those experiences, creating a culture and strategic vision designed to shape not only how we work, but how we grow and who we bring onto our team. This role is an opportunity for someone to have a meaningful impact on the significant planned continued growth and culture of the Firm. Legal recruiting experience is preferred. We have nine offices throughout five states and offer flexible remote work options.

Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job‑related factors permitted by law.
