Build Something Special If you are a high-performing attorney who
feels like a number in a large firm, or if you are tired of being
siloed into a single niche without client contact, MHR Lewis offers
a different path. We are a highly sophisticated boutique firm that
handles complex, high-stakes matters with the agility and personal
touch that only a small, elite team can provide. We are looking for
a Junior to Mid-Level Associate who doesn't just want to "bill
hours," but wants to build a career, a reputation, and a book of
business. Who You Are The Entrepreneur: You don’t wait for
instructions. You see a need and fill it. You are motivated by the
idea of growing a practice and eventually managing your own
clients. The Sophisticated Generalist: You enjoy the variety of
shifting between a real estate closing, a corporate transaction,
and a strategic commercial litigation filing. The Relationship
Builder: You genuinely enjoy people. You understand that law is a
service business and you are eager to network, attend events, and
cultivate professional relationships. The Craftsman: You have
impeccable credentials and take immense pride in your writing. Your
briefs are persuasive, and your contracts are airtight. Your Role &
Responsibilities Direct Impact: You will have direct client contact
from Day 1. You won't be hidden away in your office; you will be at
the table. Transactional Execution: Lead and support corporate
formations, structuring, private client matters, and real estate
transactions. Strategic Litigation: Handle commercial and business
litigation matters, from drafting pleadings to appearing in court.
Business Development: We don’t just "allow" networking – it’s
expected and we support it. You will be encouraged (including
financially) to begin building your own book of business with the
firm’s full mentorship. Qualifications At least 2 years of
experience in corporate, real estate, or litigation (ideally a
mix). Exceptional writing and communication skills. Admitted to
practice in Connecticut and New York (or the ability to waive in).
A "Self-Starter" Mindset: You are comfortable working independently
and are highly organized. Why MHR Lewis? We offer the
sophistication of a large firm without the bureaucracy. You will
work directly with the founding partner, receive genuine
mentorship, and have a clear, merit-based path for growth. We value
independence, intellectual curiosity, and a drive to succeed.
Compensation & Benefits Salary: Competitive and commensurate with
experience. Retirement: 401(k) plan with profit-sharing
opportunities. Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental,
and vision insurance coverage.
