JC Law Attorney Hiring Process & Ladder of Success
New Lawyer Journey with JC Law
JC Law hires clerks and attorneys at all stages of their careers. This new path forward is a model designed to give attorneys (or soon-to-be attorneys close to taking the bar) a destination so they will be completely aware of their set path. The difference with JC Law is that we will automatically promote an attorney on a 1-year basis if they fulfill the basic metrics that make our clients, the firm, and themselves successful! That includes job promotions, salary, perks, and benefits!
We understand that the pathway out of law school or even in the field of practicing law can be bumpy and unknown. Most firms will promote only upon recommendation or major success. In other firms it is then up to senior managers and others to make a decision on your advancement, which can be challenging!
JC Law has changed that! The idea is that if you are successful in your practice, you fulfill basic metrics, you will then automatically be promoted to the next level! This gives transparency and a great ladder to lawyers who have the desire and talent to succeed in their careers and be an asset to the legal profession! It also gives a lawyer the ability to determine exactly where they will be in each stage of their profession so they can make personal financial decisions in their lives.
