Costaras Law, Independence, OH, United States
Location
Independence, Ohio
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.
