JC Law does things a little differently! Our handshake with the community is our ultimate priority, but how we do that is just as important. The practice of law is a privilege in this country, and how we bring new clients on board is super important.
Some lawyers who have a natural “knack” and ability to talk to prospective clients really get to the base of their issue and begin to work towards solving their legal issues.
JC Law believes lawyers with the drive and inclination to help bring on new cases are an asset to the community and the firm they are working for. It helps the community “work through” finding a proper lawyer or firm to assist them with walking through the legal system, no matter how large or small their issues may be.
JC Law cultivates this process by allowing lawyers who may not want to practice full-time or not at all, but gives them the ability to counsel, advise, and acquire new clients that we can help. So, whether it is a situation where you may want to practice part-time and focus on new consultations, or you simply want to focus on full or part-time sales as a lawyer and not practice, JC Law has a career path for you!
We have a fantastic sales team broken up into two basic parts:
- Fab 5 practicing lawyers who focus primarily on the practice of law but also wear the hat of a “sales lawyer” part-time.
- Full or part-time sales lawyers who only focus on consultations and acquiring new matters that JC Law can help.
Many lawyers are tired of the administrative work that it takes to run their own practice or work within a firm. Our sales lawyer process can give you flexibility and inclination to stay in the practice of law but not have to focus on the case itself after the case is acquired. It’s a fantastic method to wind up a career or start a career to learn sales skills.
JC Law has an excellent acquisition structure for rewarding attorneys and also teaching lawyers how to be successful at this type of practice!
This is a new thought process that we believe will enhance the “law firm” relationship with the community!
Reimagining Your Legal Career: Why a Sales Attorney Position Could Be Your Perfect Fit
Are you an experienced attorney feeling a pull toward a different, more productive way to practice law? Perhaps you’re seeking a role where you can leverage your legal expertise and communication skills in a dynamic, client-focused environment, without the weight of traditional legal practice. If so, the position of a Sales Attorney at JC Law might be the refreshing change you’ve been searching for.
At JC Law, we’re redefining the traditional law firm structure, recognizing that “sales” isn’t a dirty word in the practice of law. In fact, we believe that the ability to connect with prospective clients, understand their needs, and guide them toward legal solutions is an invaluable asset. We’re passionate about serving our community, and how we bring new clients on board is just as important as the legal services we provide. We truly believe that the practice of law is a privilege, and we embrace the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.
A New Approach to Client Acquisition
We understand that some lawyers possess a natural talent for connecting with people, quickly grasping the core of their legal issues, and initiating the process of finding solutions. At JC Law, we value this ability and recognize the immense benefit it brings to both the community and our firm. Attorneys with the drive and inclination to help bring in new cases play a vital role in guiding individuals and businesses through the often-complex legal landscape, helping them find the right legal support, regardless of the size or complexity of their issues.
Therefore, we cultivate this process by providing opportunities for lawyers who may not want to practice full-time, or even at all, the ability to counsel, advise, and acquire new clients that we can help. Whether you’re looking for a part-time role focused on new consultations or a full-time sales position where you can leverage your legal knowledge without managing cases directly, JC Law offers a career path tailored to your aspirations.
For many attorneys, the traditional demands of legal practice—including the extensive administrative burden, court appearances, and the often-unpredictable nature of litigation—can be exhausting. Our Sales Attorney roles offer a unique alternative: the chance to utilize your profound legal knowledge and sharp analytical skills to identify client needs and present solutions, all while minimizing the administrative overhead inherent in conventional law practice. This innovative approach allows you to focus on the initial, crucial interaction with individuals seeking legal help, shaping their first positive experience with the justice system through JC Law. We empower you to stay connected to the legal field, supporting the community, without the day-to-day pressures of full-time case management. This can be an ideal path for those seeking to wind down a long career gracefully or for those just starting out who wish to master client relations before delving deeper into case specifics.

Our Unique Sales Attorney Structure and Your Career Path
At JC Law, we pride ourselves on offering flexible career paths that cater to diverse legal professionals. Our sales team is thoughtfully structured into two primary avenues, each designed to maximize your strengths and align with your professional goals:
- The “Fab 5” Practicing Lawyers: This path is for attorneys who predominantly engage in the practice of law but also possess a natural flair for client acquisition. You’ll manage a caseload but also dedicate a portion of your time to conducting initial consultations and bringing new matters into the firm. It’s a hybrid role that combines the intellectual rigor of legal practice with the dynamic engagement of client sales. This role is perfect for those who thrive on variety and want to contribute to the firm’s growth directly while maintaining their legal practice skills.
- Full or Part-Time Sales Lawyers: This route is exclusively for attorneys who wish to focus solely on consultations and securing new clients for JC Law. In this role, your primary responsibility is client acquisition. You counsel, advise, and retain prospective clients, then seamlessly transition the acquired cases to our dedicated litigation or transactional teams. This path is ideal for those who excel at building rapport, understanding needs, and closing deals, preferring to step away from the administrative and ongoing case management of traditional practice.
Both roles are underpinned by our belief that a strong connection with the community is paramount. We teach and equip our attorneys with the strategies and tools necessary to excel in client acquisition, ensuring that every new client feels heard, understood, and confident in choosing JC Law.
The Rewards of a Sales-Driven Legal Career: Compensation & Benefits
Choosing a Sales Attorney role at JC Law isn’t just about professional fulfillment; it’s also about building a highly rewarding career, both personally and financially.

That’s why our acquisition structure is designed to generously reward our attorneys for their success in bringing new clients into the firm.
Our compensation model is heavily based on commission, offering you the potential for uncapped earnings directly tied to your efforts and achievements. This performance-based structure means your earning potential is limited only by your drive and ability to connect with and retain clients. We believe in transparency and direct reward for outstanding sales performance.
Here’s a simplified look at how a commission structure might work, though specific details would be discussed during the interview process:
| Client Acquisition Volume (Monthly) | Commission Rate (Example) | Estimated Monthly Earning Potential |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (e.g., 5-10 retained) | X% per retainer | $$$ |
| Mid-Tier (e.g., 11-20 retained) | Y% per retainer (higher) | $$$$ |
| High-Volume (e.g., 21+ retained) | Z% per retainer (highest) | $$$$$ |
Note: The figures and rates above are illustrative examples. Actual commission structures vary based on factors such as case complexity, retainer value, and individual performance metrics.
Beyond the robust commission structure, we invest in our attorneys‘ growth and success. Our benefits package is designed to support your well-being and professional development, ensuring you have the resources needed to thrive. This includes continuous training in advanced sales techniques, legal updates relevant to client acquisition, and mentorship from seasoned professionals within the firm.
