• Help management identify legal risk early and recommend a sensible way to address it.
• Maintain organized records of contracts, claims, legal correspondence, and active matters.

What We're Looking For

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school.
• Active and in good standing with a U.S. state bar.
• Experience with transportation law, logistics, commercial contracts, corporate law, or regulatory matters.
• Strong contract review and negotiation skills.
• Familiarity with motor carrier, freight brokerage, interstate commerce, or transportation regulations is preferred.
• Able to communicate legal issues in straightforward business terms.
• Good judgment and the ability to work independently when a matter needs timely attention.
• Professional discretion when handling confidential company, customer, and employee information.

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience $105,000 - $150,000.
• Medical and health benefit options.
• Paid vacation and personal time.
• Paid company holidays.
• Retirement plan options.
• Professional development and continuing legal education support.
