About Costaras Law
Costaras Law is a modern boutique law firm serving business owners, entrepreneurs, investors, families, and high-net-worth individuals throughout Ohio.
The firm is built around practical legal strategy, flat-fee pricing, fast responsiveness, and tech-enabled systems that improve speed, accuracy, and client experience.
About The Role
Costaras Law is hiring an Associate Attorney to support business law, estate planning, real estate, and legacy-focused legal matters.
This role is a strong fit for an attorney with 1-3 years of experience who wants direct mentorship, meaningful client exposure, and substantive legal work early in their career.
This is not a volume-based, churn-and-burn role. The work is thoughtful, client-facing, and outcome-driven.
What You’ll Do
- Draft, review, and revise legal documents across business, estate planning, and transactional matters
- Support matters involving contracts, business formation, operating agreements, governance documents, and related strategy
- Assist with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and estate planning documents
- Contribute to business purchase, sale, and real estate-related matters
- Communicate directly with clients in a clear, practical, professional way
- Participate in legal research, issue spotting, and strategy development
- Help move matters forward efficiently while maintaining strong attention to detail
Qualifications
- J.D. from an accredited law school
- Active Ohio law license, or clear path to Ohio licensure
- 1-3 years of relevant legal experience
- Strong writing, drafting, and analytical skills
- Excellent judgment and attention to detail
- Strong client communication skills
- Highly organized and comfortable managing multiple matters
- Comfortable using technology and learning modern legal workflows
Preferred Experience
- Business law, estate planning, real estate, contracts, or transactional work
- Direct client communication
- Drafting agreements and legal documents with limited supervision
- Interest in long-term growth inside a boutique law firm
Compensation
$80,000-$110,000+ annually, depending on experience and fit.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Flat-fee practice model focused on outcomes, not billable-hour pressure
- Direct client access and substantive work early
- Tech-enabled systems and modern workflows
- Strong mentorship and practical legal training
- Real responsibility inside a growing boutique firm
How To Apply
Submit your resume, brief cover letter, and a required self-recorded Loom video covering:
- Your background and current practice experience
- Why this role interests you
- Why you believe you would be a strong fit for Costaras Law
Applicants who follow instructions carefully and communicate clearly will stand out.
