Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for experienced business attorneys ready to take ownership of their work, contribute to a collaborative team, and build lasting client relationships.
You’ll be a great fit if you:
- Have a strong book of business or a clear plan to grow one
- Want to work with clients who are building and scaling real businesses
- Prefer collaboration over competition
- Value autonomy, accountability, and transparency
- Are looking for a long-term professional home
We’re always open to the right people — whether you’re a solo practitioner, a partner-level attorney, or a practice group ready to make a move.
Meaningful Outside General Counsel Work
Many attorneys at Avisen serve as Outside General Counsel for their clients — a role that provides continuity, strategic impact, and rewarding professional relationships.
As OGC, you become a trusted advisor to business leaders, offering proactive legal insight without the overhead of an in-house department. You’ll:
- Build deep, long-term client relationships
- Work across industries and business stages
- Help clients navigate growth, investment, and transition
- Provide senior-level support — without sacrificing work-life balance
You choose whether to focus primarily on OGC work or mix it with other transactional services — and we support you either way.
