MID-LEVEL ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY

Requirements: Four to seven years of private practice with an emphasis in federal transfer tax planning Admission to practice in Colorado, or the ability to obtain Colorado admission Working knowledge of federal estate, gift, generation-skipping transfer and fiduciary income tax principles Excellent federal tax research, analytical and writing skills Exceptional attention to detail A Different Model Tuthill & Hughes offers associates the opportunity to practice at the highest level without the billable-hour commitment traditionally associated with a large law firm. Our baseline expectation is 1,400 billable hours annually. Importantly, the 1,400-hour commitment is not a reduced-hours position or an alternative career track. Associates can progress to partnership while maintaining the firm’s 1,400-hour baseline. For attorneys who want to work and earn more, our model also provides flexibility. Associates may elect to take on additional billable work, with opportunities for bonus compensation and potentially a significantly higher base salary corresponding to an increased billable-hour commitment. We believe excellent lawyers should have meaningful control over the balance between their professional commitments and compensation without sacrificing sophisticated work, professional advancement or the opportunity to become a partner. Compensation Our compensation model is designed to recognize both the quality of the lawyer and the level of billable commitment the attorney chooses. Base compensation for an associate committing to 1400-hours of billable time annually will be between $145,000 and $200,000, depending on level of experience. Associates who choose to assume a greater billable-hour commitment may earn additional compensation through bonuses and/or a higher base salary. Tuthill & Hughes LLP is an equal opportunity employer.
