If you enjoy having variety in your work, want interesting clients and cases, this may be the right spot for you. We do everything from cannabis litigation and transactions, to the typical commercial litigation and transactions, to family and criminal law. So, one day you may be working on a transaction to purchase a cannabis business and the next a murder case. Our work is not boring!

I hate to speak for others, but I feel safe saying that everyone on our team truly feels like a trusted and valued member of the team.

You are good with a little chaos. We are not your typical law firm. We dress casually, pitch in where needed, yell across the hall to coworkers as a quick means of communicating, don’t have set in stone policies (we like flexibility) for things such as billable hours, PTO, etc.

You treat staff and attorneys alike. We are all on the same team, each performing vital functions.

You don’t mind an appropriately placed f-bomb (and are known to toss a few out here and there)

You like to work collaboratively, are not timid about sharing your opinion, but also willing to learn from others.

You are willing to work hard. Yes we are a laid back office that puts a very high value on “work-life balance,” but we take our work seriously and expect everyone to pull their weight.

You don’t want to have to “market” or bring in business. While we don’t prohibit anyone from bringing in business, it’s not a requirement. No need to join organizations, attend events, etc in the name of marketing. We’ve got that covered.

You don’t want or need to be micromanaged. This applies to when you are in the office/working and your projects. We are generally not morning people so we don’t open the office until 9:30. If you are an early bird, feel free to come in when you like. Bottom line is we don’t care who is here first and who leaves last or what particular time those things occur. We care about the work getting done. As long as that’s happening, you do you. Same idea with your projects.

The person who fills this position will work almost exclusively with Christina Vaughn, Jacki Loney, and Shannon McMurray.

While we can work remotely, we generally work in the office (helps with the team/collaborative atmosphere) and are looking for folks who will want to see our bright, shining faces on most days.

We are competitive with salary and benefits and bottom line is if we think you are the cat’s pajamas, we will make it worth your while.

If you’ve previously sent a resume for another position and you want to be considered for this position, please send your stuff again.

Associate Attorney Needed for Fun Boutique SF Litigation Practice (Business, Employment, Real Estate, and Intellectual Property)

If you are a sharp, knowledgeable litigator looking for a job that doesn’t cause you to hate your life, consider joining Ad Astra Law Group! We are looking for two candidates with 3-9 years of experience.

About Us

We are a group of 10 attorneys who are almost all Super Lawyers. We are as young, scrappy, and hungry as a powerhouse boutique law firm can be. We handle some very high-profile matters and some very small matters that make a real difference in our clients’ lives, as well as just about everything in between. Also, we are in the process of becoming a certified woman-owned law firm. We have been around for 9 years and we are growing at a steady pace.

We have a specialty industry focus: half of our clients are involved in the cannabis industry. Our ideal candidate will be very comfortable with legal cannabis, even if you don’t know a whole lot about it! Through our work with Ad Astra, we are on the front lines and pushing the boundaries in this new, hot industry. We also represent bars, restaurants, startups of all kinds, tech companies, and you-name-it; we even once dealt with an athletic pole dancing studio!

Finally, we are a true lifestyle practice. We typically do not work late nights or weekends except when the work demands that we do (i.e., trial prep and case deadlines). Our team consists of happy people who enjoy the work we do together and find joy in the excellent work that we do for our clients. We aren’t driven solely by profit, but by the principles of balance and satisfaction. Compensation reflects this rare environment, so please adjust your expectations. The other benefits for the position will be discussed during the interview process. We are still kind of a startup and we are looking for another brave soul who is willing to board this ship while we continue to build it.

Here is a review from our current departing employee:

"Ad Astra confirmed for me that a challenging, rewarding, and fun legal career is not incongruent with having a great life outside of work. The focus on mentorship and wide variety of practice areas here allow associates to find their groove and pursue their passions. Ad Astra had me hitting the ground running and has cheered me on through every challenge. Within my first six months here, I’d signed my first client and appeared in court for the first time (two things I thought were on the distant horizon, given my experience level!). Folks are free to come and go from the stunning San Francisco office without any of the politics and subtext found at more traditional firms. This tech-savvy team ends up having more face time with one another than I ever had in an in-person office model. Ad Astra truly treats its people like professionals, colleagues, and friends. I'm not the first person to leave this position for their dream job - I'm headed to a firm where I get to work in the practice area I've dreamed about since law school. I'm extremely sad to leave this team, but I know that I've established relationships with brilliant people that will continue on."

About You

A successful candidate will be knowledgeable about state and federal civil procedure, motion practice, discovery, and trial preparation. You are not expected to know everything or have done everything, but you must understand the process.

You will join a team of partners, associates, paralegals, a secretary, finance manager, an HR manager, and a receptionist. We use a suite of cloud-based software including Office 365, Clio, Logikcull, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and other programs as needed for your role.

We are now functioning as a mostly virtual team and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, though we do have a beautiful office on Market Street at Montgomery in San Francisco. Accordingly, we will consider an applicant who wishes to work from home often, though due to the nature of the work, physical presence in the office may be required from time to time. We practice social distancing when in the office and have a written protocol.

If you are interested in joining our salty little pirate ship, please check us out at www.astralegal.com and send a cover letter with your resume to our Managing Partner, Katy Young. Your cover letter should include some personal details about you (since our fun, collegial culture is so important to us), why you would want to work with us, and your salary requirements (reminder: we are still a startup and we really take seriously our commitment to having our lives outside of the office). Please do not disqualify yourself from applying— err on the side of adventure and apply to be a star!

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $110,000.00 - $125,000.00 per year

LASO Farmworker Program, NWJP, and OLC Farmworker Program each seek an attorney (three total) for an innovative partnership to support cannabis industry workers in Oregon.

The Cannabis Worker Resilience Partnership is a holistic, multi agency collaboration to support workers in the illegal cannabis industry facing wage theft, labor trafficking, dangerous work conditions and retaliation. The Partnership includes community-based organizations providing humanitarian assistance, legal services programs engaging in outreach, community education and legal representation and mental health organizations providing support and referrals. The positions are funded through the end of 2025.

Cannabis Worker Resilience Legal Partners

Legal Aid Services of Oregon (LASO):
LASO is a non-profit organization that represents low-income clients in civil cases. LASO’s eight regional offices serve the general low-income population throughout the state and two specialized statewide programs provide services to farmworkers and representation on Native American issues. LASO is an effective, high-quality legal services program that is committed to advocacy strategies having the broadest possible impact on client community problems. LASO is actively working to build an inclusive organizational culture that centers on racial equity. LASO is committed to recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce and providing a welcoming
and culturally responsive environment for our staff and clients.

The Farmworker Program consists of eight staff, including attorneys and paralegal/outreach workers. The majority of our clients speak Spanish or one of the Mesoamerican indigenous languages such as Mixteco, Triqui or Zapoteco. We emphasize areas of the law that community members tell us are most important to them and where representation and advocacy can achieve long term change. We work together with our clients to overcome the challenges they face including systemic racism, unpaid wages, poor working conditions, unsafe housing, and other forms of discrimination and retaliation for the exercise of their legal rights. We use strategies
including community education, legal representation, and systemic advocacy.

Northwest Workers’ Justice Project (NWJP):
NWJP protects workplace dignity by supporting the efforts of low-wage, immigrant and contingent workers to improve wages and working conditions and to eliminate imbalances in power that lead to inequity. NWJP works to bring the values of collaboration and shared leadership, courage and adaptation, empowerment, and respect of cultural differences to its workplace culture and all of its work in the community.

NWJP has seven attorneys and four paralegals/support staff that work collaboratively together and with our clients to build power as a way of dismantling structural racism and inequities. NWJP’s staff offers high-quality, direct legal assistance to workers and their organizations; supports organizing efforts; educates workers, their leaders and the public about workplace rights; advocate for better employment laws; and promotes greater access to low-cost employment legal assistance. NWJP serves workers all over Oregon and engages in litigation and policy advocacy regionally and nationally.

Oregon Law Center (OLC):
OLC is a legal services program committed to achieving justice for the low-income communities of Oregon by providing a full range of the highest quality civil legal services. OLC operates eleven regional offices, a state support unit, legislative advocacy unit, and statewide farmworker program. OLC is committed to achieving justice for the low-income communities of Oregon. Our client communities include people of color, farmworkers, LGBTQIA+ people, immigrants, seniors, people with lived experiences of homelessness, veterans, people with disabilities, and people from other underrepresented groups. It is essential to our work to serve clients that we also work to create an inclusive and respectful workplace in which differences are acknowledged and valued. OLC is actively working to build an organizational culture that centers racial equity.

OLC’s Gresham Farmworker office comprises three attorneys (including one managing attorney) and one community educator/outreach worker as part of a larger Farmworker Program. The Farmworker Program sets priorities according to client need; current priorities include employment, occupational safety and health, housing, and civil rights. Most of our clients speak Spanish or one of the indigenous languages native to Mexico and Central America, such as Mixteco, Triqui, Zapoteco, Mam, and Akateco. They experience a wide variety of legal problems, including unpaid wages, inadequate housing, unsafe work conditions including excessive heat, hazardous chemicals, violence, and sexual harassment. The most common form of discrimination they face is retaliation for asserting their legal protections.

Position Description:
This is a unique and exciting opportunity to work with partners to provide innovative legal assistance to immigrant workers in the cannabis industry with one of Oregon’s three workers’ rights legal nonprofit organizations. Together with the low-wage, contingent and immigrant workers we represent, we will work to dismantle structural racism and inequities and help eradicate extremely exploitative working conditions. The central activities of the positions are client counseling and representation, outreach and education, support of worker-led advocacy, public education, and collaboration with legal and community partners. While primarily focused on workers’ rights law, the attorneys will support some workers with immigration legal needs, including screening for possible referrals and supporting them with affirmative- relief based on their employment cases. We are looking for attorneys committed to strategically using their legal training to create long-term change for working people.

The position requires the ability to work well with colleagues and a variety of external partners including unions, civil and immigrants’ rights organizations, law enforcement agencies and community and advocacy groups.

Required qualifications:

• Demonstrated ability to take direction and guidance from low-income clients and

their self-identified priorities;

• Experience working with diverse communities and demonstrated cultural

competence in addressing the legal needs of immigrant workers;

• Commitment to developing litigation and other advocacy skills;
• A high degree of initiative and ability to manage a litigation caseload;
• Excellent communication, writing, organizational and research skills;
• Ability to work independently and as a team player;
• Ability to think creatively and a willingness to implement unconventional legal

strategies to blaze new legal trails;

• Demonstrated commitment to social justice, as well as a desire to disrupt existing

systems of oppression;

• Willingness to work irregular hours on occasion to meet the needs of clients;
• Proficiency in spoken and written Spanish; and
• Oregon bar accreditation, or ability and willingness to obtain it as soon as

possible.
Preferred qualifications:

• Demonstrated litigation skills.
• Experience in employment law.
• Demonstrated commitment to workers’ rights.

How to apply:

Review of applications and interviews will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled. We would like the successful applicant to start no later than November 1, 2022, but preferably before. Applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

LASO, NWJP and OLC are collecting applications for all three open positions. First round interviews will be with representatives from all three organizations, while second round interviews (and job offers) will be extended by each organization individually.

Please send a cover letter, resume, writing sample and a list of three references to Julie Samples, Oregon Law Center at [email protected]. Please include the posting you are applying for in the subject line. You may indicate which organization you would like to work for, but all applicants will be considered by all organizations initially.

LASO, NWJP and OLC strive to be affirming, positive, diverse work environments and are equal opportunity employers. We strongly encourage applicants who will contribute to our diversity and/or who come from our client communities to apply.

Salary:

Salaries vary slightly between organizations, but are based on union-negotiated contracts and depend on experience. As an example, a successful candidate with 0-5 years of experience working full time would expect to make approximately $60,000 to $69,000 a year, but applicants with more experience are encouraged to apply. Placement on the union scale is determined by years of relevant attorney experience. Additional compensation for bilingual abilities.

All three organizations provide health care benefits, retirement benefits, and generous paid holidays, vacation and sick leave. More details about individual organizations’ benefits will be available through the application process.

Organizational Overview

Cabrini Green Legal Aid (CGLA) was established in 1973 to serve the legal needs arising from the lack of opportunity, criminalization of poverty, and racial inequity experienced within Chicago's Cabrini Green public housing community. Since then, CGLA has grown beyond a single neighborhood to become a citywide, countywide, and statewide leader in proactively filling the void of legal representation, wraparound services, legal information and resources, and advocacy exclusively for low-income individuals negatively impacted by the criminal legal system. Any engagement with the criminal legal system can greatly disrupt an individual, family, and community's quality of life.

CGLA is distinguished among legal aid service providers locally, throughout Illinois, and nationally as having expertise in legal matters related to the direct and collateral consequences of the criminal legal system. Since 2014, we have been the sole legal aid services provider serving Cook County with the distinction of focusing exclusively on individuals and families who have been adversely impacted by the criminal legal system in all legal program areas: criminal records, emerging adults, criminal defense, housing law, and family law. We provide direct legal services, advocate for policy reforms, and provide legal information and resources to other legal aid organizations, pro bono attorneys, and the general public. We also support our clients holistically with wraparound social services from our social workers. Our policy and advocacy work is not performed as a separate entity; rather it is informed by our legal services and the lived experiences of our Leadership Council, an Advisory Group made up of former CGLA clients and community members directly impacted by the criminal legal system.

CGLA’s Mission, Purpose and Vision

• Develop and deliver legal education and technical assistance to community attorneys and community-based organizations regarding records relief and licensing under the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act.


• Supervise attorneys and volunteers in the provision of advice, support, and training regarding alternative forms of criminal records relief, including FDIC waivers, health care worker waivers, certificates of rehabilitation, and other forms of relief.

• Collaborate with attorneys in other CGLA program areas when criminal records clients have civil or criminal defense legal needs, serving as co-counsel on their housing law, family law, and criminal law cases with supervisory approval as caseload capacity allows.


• Maintain up-to-date client information in CGLA’s case management system to ensure accurate data collection and statistical tracking including timely reporting of outcomes.


• Assist with developing educational materials relating to criminal records matters and conduct classes for clients, volunteers, courts, partner organizations and other personnel as assigned.

Description of Job

WHAT YOU WILL DO

The Marijuana, Liquor & Bankruptcy (MLB) Unit offers the opportunity to practice in cutting-edge and challenging areas of law representing the Marijuana and Liquor Enforcement Divisions of the Colorado Department of Revenue and the Tax Division in bankruptcy and tax collection matters. The MLB Unit is a dynamic and collaborative group as statutes and regulations governing regulated marijuana, liquor and tobacco retailers change frequently.

This attorney will primarily handle administrative actions for both the Marijuana and Liquor Enforcement Division. Administrative actions include denials of applications for a license required to operate a regulated liquor business, tobacco retailer or marijuana business, and disciplinary actions based on alleged violations of the statutes and rules that govern these businesses. These cases are initiated by a client investigation which is then referred to the attorneys in the MLB Unit for initial review, administrative hearing, exceptions (administrative appeal) and judicial review. Administrative cases range in complexity from relatively simple to quite complex. For example, the Marijuana and Liquor Enforcement Divisions may seek enforcement action based on underage sales of liquor, tobacco or marijuana, substantial security and public health violations, violations of mandatory marijuana testing requirements, or sophisticated corporate and financial schemes intended to allow unauthorized entities and individuals to control licensed businesses. The attorney may also represent these Divisions in state and federal courts.

The attorney will be part of a team, but will be expected to handle cases independently with increasing responsibilities over time.

The attorney may also assist with general counsel advice to the Marijuana and Liquor Enforcement Divisions including advising on legal issues and rulemaking required to implement newly enacted legislation.

This recruitment may be used to fill multiple positions in the Department of Law.

Salary note: Although a salary range is listed, salary will be set commensurate with the successful candidate's qualifications and in compliance with the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act.

Organizational Overview

Cabrini Green Legal Aid (CGLA) was established in 1973 to serve the legal needs arising from the lack of opportunity, criminalization of poverty, and racial inequity experienced within Chicago's Cabrini Green public housing community. Since then, CGLA has grown beyond a single neighborhood to become a citywide, countywide, and statewide leader in proactively filling the void of legal representation, wraparound services, legal information and resources, and advocacy exclusively for low-income individuals negatively impacted by the criminal legal system. Any engagement with the criminal legal system can greatly disrupt an individual, family, and community's quality of life.

CGLA is distinguished among legal aid service providers locally, throughout Illinois, and nationally as having expertise in legal matters related to the direct and collateral consequences of the criminal legal system. Since 2014, we have been the sole legal aid services provider serving Cook County with the distinction of focusing exclusively on individuals and families who have been adversely impacted by the criminal legal system in all legal program areas: criminal records, emerging adults, criminal defense, housing law, and family law. We provide direct legal services, advocate for policy reforms, and provide legal information and resources to other legal aid organizations, pro bono attorneys, and the general public. We also support our clients holistically with wraparound social services from our social workers. Our policy and advocacy work is not performed as a separate entity; rather it is informed by our legal services and the lived experiences of our Leadership Council, an Advisory Group made up of former CGLA clients and community members directly impacted by the criminal legal system.

• Provide advice, support, training, and supervision to individuals who qualify for relief under the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act.


• Develop and deliver legal education and technical assistance to community attorneys and organizations regarding relief and licensing under the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act.

Organizational Overview

Cabrini Green Legal Aid (CGLA) was established in 1973 to serve the legal needs arising from the lack of opportunity, criminalization of poverty, and racial inequity experienced within Chicago's Cabrini Green public housing community. Since then, CGLA has grown beyond a single neighborhood to become a citywide, countywide, and statewide leader in proactively filling the void of legal representation, wraparound services, legal information and resources, and advocacy exclusively for low-income individuals negatively impacted by the criminal legal system. Any engagement with the criminal legal system can greatly disrupt an individual, family, and community's quality of life.

CGLA is distinguished among legal aid service providers locally, throughout Illinois, and nationally as having expertise in legal matters related to the direct and collateral consequences of the criminal legal system. Since 2014, we have been the sole legal aid services provider serving Cook County with the distinction of focusing exclusively on individuals and families who have been adversely impacted by the criminal legal system in all legal program areas: criminal records, emerging adults, criminal defense, housing law, and family law. We provide direct legal services, advocate for policy reforms, and provide legal information and resources to other legal aid organizations, pro bono attorneys, and the general public. We also support our clients holistically with wraparound social services from our social workers. Our policy and advocacy work is not performed as a separate entity; rather it is informed by our legal services and the lived experiences of our Leadership Council, an Advisory Group made up of former CGLA clients and community members directly impacted by the criminal legal system.

Employees or volunteers who are not eligible to receive the booster before their start date, due to required waiting times after receiving their initial vaccine(s), must provide confirmation of the vaccine type and date received so the AGO can calculate the date by which they must receive the booster. If you are selected to serve within the AGO as an employee or volunteer, you will be required to provide proof of vaccination and booster (if already received) before you are able to begin work. You may request an accommodation if you are unable to meet the requirement due to a medical or religious necessity.

Do you love litigation but hate the culture? Do you struggle to imagine a practice where you can set your priorities, run your own cases, stand up in court without sacrificing your whole life to the profession?

We are seeking Oklahoma licensed commercial litigators, anywhere from 6-10 years commercial litigation experience, to join our growing and thriving practice.
Our main office is in Tulsa, so if you are located in Tulsa, great! If you are located in Oklahoma, but outside of Tulsa, the position can be mostly remote. If you are outside of Oklahoma, and are interested in relocating, we will include relocation expenses.

Each of us at Viridian started in firms with reputations for insane billable hours and aggressive trial lawyers. We loved our colleagues, enjoyed the work, but we sacrificed so much every single day.
We took the leap and jumped to launch our boutique cannabis firm in 2019, and will never look back. We now work with a dedicated team and wonderful team who is helping grow our practice, and our whole team is committed to finding YOU and convincing you to take a leap to the wonderful environment of a boutique.

Organizational Overview

Cabrini Green Legal Aid (CGLA) was established in 1973 to serve the legal needs arising from the lack of opportunity, criminalization of poverty, and racial inequity experienced within Chicago's Cabrini Green public housing community. Since then, CGLA has grown beyond a single neighborhood to become a citywide, countywide, and statewide leader in proactively filling the void of legal representation, wraparound services, legal information and resources, and advocacy exclusively for low-income individuals negatively impacted by the criminal legal system. Any engagement with the criminal legal system can greatly disrupt an individual, family, and community's quality of life.

CGLA is distinguished among legal aid service providers locally, throughout Illinois, and nationally as having expertise in legal matters related to the direct and collateral consequences of the criminal legal system. Since 2014, we have been the sole legal aid services provider serving Cook County with the distinction of focusing exclusively on individuals and families who have been adversely impacted by the criminal legal system in all legal program areas: criminal records, emerging adults, criminal defense, housing law, and family law. We provide direct legal services, advocate for policy reforms, and provide legal information and resources to other legal aid organizations, pro bono attorneys, and the general public. We also support our clients holistically with wraparound social services from our social workers. Our policy and advocacy work is not performed as a separate entity; rather it is informed by our legal services and the lived experiences of our Leadership Council, an Advisory Group made up of former CGLA clients and community members directly impacted by the criminal legal system.

CGLA’s Mission, Purpose and Vision

• Manage the assignment of attorneys and volunteers and coordinate with State’s Attorneys and court personnel to assist self-represented litigants as a “friend of the court” at court hearings at the George N. Leighton Criminal Court Building and other courthouses.


• Supervise attorneys and volunteers in the provision of advice, support, and training to individuals who qualify for relief under the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act.


• Develop and deliver legal education and technical assistance to community attorneys and community-based organizations regarding records relief and licensing under the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act.


• Supervise attorneys and volunteers in the provision of advice, support, and training regarding alternative forms of criminal records relief, including FDIC waivers, health care worker waivers, certificates of rehabilitation, and other forms of relief.


• Cultivate and manage relationships with workforce development agencies and other community-based organizations that have formal partnerships with CGLA to provide holistic legal services to clients.


• Schedule and conduct periodic on-site and virtual visits to partner organizations to conduct staff training and provide legal services.
