Land Use Attorney
This Jobot Job is hosted by: Trey Mattson
About Us
We're a well-established, full-service New Jersey firm with a genuinely different culture. We're not a typical grind-it-out firm — we're a lifestyle practice that believes good lawyers do their best work when they're mentored, supported, and trusted to manage their own time. We have a billable target, but we care far more about quality work and long-term development than about clock-watching. Partners here see it as their job to feed associates work and train them properly, not throw them in the deep end.
Why Join Us
- Real mentorship from senior partners who are among the most respected in their fields.
- Reasonable, quality-focused billable target (around 1,800), applied sensibly by team rather than rigidly across the board.
- Hybrid flexibility: in-office more than not for mentorship, but realistic about life — pick up your kids, make the soccer game, handle what you need to.
- Meaningful bonus structure: tiered productivity bonuses, origination bonuses on business you bring in, and discretionary bonuses for pro bono work, big trials, and exceptional contributions.
- A real path to partnership for those who want it.
About the Role
This is a combined environmental, land use, and real estate role — three practices that work closely together here. You'll support a partner who is a genuine standout and one of the most well-regarded people at the firm, with additional exposure to our redevelopment and land use work.
Responsibilities
- Handle environmental, land use, and redevelopment matters, often intersecting with real estate.
- Work on approvals, permitting, and regulatory matters.
- Support developer and corporate clients on real-world, business-driven projects.
Requirements
- An attorney who can hold their own and work independently when needed — you'll sometimes run with things on your own, but support is always a phone call away.
- A pragmatic, business-minded approach to environmental work (this is developer- and industry-side practice, not advocacy work).
- Open to strong real estate attorneys looking to build environmental and land use expertise.
Pay
$145,000 - $165,000 per year
