Job Description

This position is ideal for an attorney who just passed the bar exam and wants real-world experience right off the bat!

About Us

PK Law Group, P.C. is a fast-paced, results-driven litigation and criminal defense firm dedicated to delivering bold, strategic representation for our clients. We take on high-stakes matters with precision, creativity, and an unrelenting commitment to justice. We’re not your typical law firm—we value initiative, independent thinking, and the ability to thrive in an environment where every day presents a new challenge and an opportunity to grow.

Position Overview

We’re seeking a Junior Associate Attorney to join our litigation and criminal defense team. This is an entry-level role ideal for a recent law school graduate or new attorney looking to gain hands-on courtroom experience, develop litigation skills, and work directly with senior attorneys on active cases.

The position offers a creative pay structure designed to reward effort, results, and initiative. In addition to an hourly base rate between $29 and $33 per hour , the role includes opportunities for:

  • Performance-based bonuses tied to case outcomes, billable targets, or successful motion practice.
  • Client development incentives for bringing in or assisting with new matters.
  • Trial participation stipends for courtroom or hearing appearances.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist lead attorneys in all phases of litigation and criminal defense, from intake to trial.
  • Conduct legal research, draft motions, discovery responses, memoranda, and pleadings.
  • Appear in court for motion hearings, status conferences, and other proceedings (under supervision as appropriate).
  • Participate in client meetings, witness interviews, and case strategy sessions.
  • Manage case files, track deadlines, and maintain organized documentation.
  • Support senior counsel in preparing for trials, hearings, and depositions.
  • Contribute to firm-wide initiatives, including community outreach and marketing efforts.

Qualifications

  • Juris Doctor (J.D.).
  • Admitted (or pending admission) to the Massachusetts Bar (New Hampshire admitted attorneys is a major check mark in your favor!)
  • Strong written and oral advocacy skills.
  • Excellent organizational abilities and attention to detail.
  • Ability to handle multiple assignments in a fast-paced environment.
  • A sense of humor, resilience, and a desire to learn from every case and client.
  • Prior internship or clinical experience in litigation, criminal law, or public defense preferred but not required.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base Pay: $29 – $33 per hour (based on experience and bar status).
  • Performance Incentives: Bonuses for client generation, and exceptional performance.
  • Flexible Schedule Options: Adjusted courtroom schedules as case demands allow.
  • Professional Development: Direct mentorship from senior litigators, early exposure to client-facing work.
  • Growth Path: Potential for promotion to Associate Attorney with salary conversion and performance-based profit-sharing after the first year.

How to Apply

Please submit a cover letter, résumé, writing sample, and references with the subject line: Junior Associate Application – [Your Name] . In your cover letter, tell us briefly what drives you as an advocate and why you’d be a strong fit for our litigation team.
