JOIN OUR TEAM!

Tired of feeling like a glorified paperweight in a soul-crushing salt mine?

Yeah, we get it. You went to law school to actually make a difference, not to spend your days deciphering jargon that would make a medieval scholar weep or fetching lukewarm coffee for someone who hasn’t had an original thought since dial-up was a thing.

Are you:

• Stifled by endless unfulfilling paper chasing that makes your brain mushy?
• Secretly plotting an escape from the beige-walled prison of your current firm?
• Possessing a legal mind sharper than a freshly honed katana, but it’s being used to slice through…well, nothing exciting?
• Yearning to actually fight for something meaningful instead of just billing hours?
• Ready to unleash your inner legal badass on cases that actually matter?

Then listen up, future legal disruptor.

Gourley, Rehkemper & Lindholm PLLC (GRL Law) in West Des Moines isn’t your typical stuffy law firm. We’re a team of passionate, creative trailblazers who believe in fighting for our clients with grit, intelligence, and a healthy dose of unconventional thinking. We’re not about churning out boilerplate; we’re about crafting innovative solutions and making a real impact in our community.

Here’s the deal:

We’re looking for an Associate Attorney with 1-3 years of experience who’s ready to ditch the briefcase-carrying gig and dive headfirst into challenging and rewarding work. You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Actually use your brain: Forget the mind-numbing routine. You’ll be involved in strategy, research, and client interaction from the get-go.
• Fight for the underdog: We handle cases that matter, helping individuals and families navigate complex legal challenges.
• Contribute meaningfully: Your work won’t just be a billable hour; it will directly impact people’s lives.
• Learn and grow: Our experienced attorneys are invested in your development and will provide mentorship and opportunities for advancement.
• Be part of a team that doesn’t take itself too seriously: We work hard, but we also believe in a supportive and (dare we say) fun work environment. (Yes, it’s possible in law!)

What you bring to the table:

• 1-3 years of post-bar admission legal experience (tell us what kind!)
• A strong work ethic and a hunger to learn.
• Excellent research, writing, and communication skills.
• A creative problem-solving mindset – we don’t do cookie-cutter solutions.
• A genuine desire to make a positive impact.
• A healthy skepticism of the status quo.

Bonus points if you:

• Have experience in probate, real estate, personal injury, family law or criminal defense.
• Can explain complex legal concepts without inducing a coma.
• Possess a respectful defiance toward abused authority.
