Law Students

We have found that a law firm devoted primarily to litigation attracts the best law students who want to try lawsuits. We attract students who excelled in moot court and mock trial; students who went to law school because they wanted the challenge and enjoyment of working in litigation- not sit on the sidelines of a “Big Law” firm for years before participating in the most minor of litigious tasks. Our focus on elite legal work with a low-overhead structure offers junior associates unparalleled opportunities to quickly develop their legal skills. Junior associates work closely with senior attorneys and partners, and accept significant work and responsibilities.

While the firm does not maintain a full-time summer associate program, we routinely hire law clerks who are given the opportunity to see what it would be like to be an associate at Chamblee Ryan.  Law clerks work on projects and have the opportunity to explore many areas of law within our diverse litigation practice.  Clerks will work under the direction of numerous attorneys who concentrate on a wide range of legal matters.  While research and writing is of course a large part of the tasks assigned, clerks will also have the opportunity to observe depositions, hearings, and trials.

Staff

As we continue to grow, our need for talented support staff grows as well. Throughout the year, our firm requires the hiring of smart and energetic support staff members to help our firm deliver elite legal services. Our staff members are vital to the success of the firm in the courtroom. The firm’s collegial and respectful work environment has resulted in great loyalty amongst our staff, many of whom have been with us for over 10 years.

Benefits

Chamblee Ryan’s benefit package is competitive for our geographic location and practice areas, and includes a base salary, monthly billing bonus for Paralegals and Attorneys and year-end bonus which is based on the quality of your law practice, billing and profitability, and overall contribution to the firm’s business.  Additional benefits available include:
