• Research: Research key issues and identify relevant statutes, case law, and regulations using traditional and AI legal databases. 
• Client Management: Manage client relationships, communicate complex legal concepts in plain language, and maintain the firm’s commitment to transparent, client-centered service.

The Ideal Candidate: Business Acumen & Resilience

We are seeking candidates who bring a unique, non-traditional perspective and possess a high degree of business acumen and resilience gained outside of the typical legal track.

A successful candidate will preferably have experience in one or more of the following fields:

• College Sports: Demonstrates exceptional teamwork, discipline, dedication, and the ability to thrive under high pressure.
• Retail Sales: Shows a natural aptitude for client service, relationship building, and understanding transactional dynamics.
• Food and Beverage Industry: Highlights an ability to multitask, manage logistics, and handle high-volume, fast-paced customer interactions with grace.

These backgrounds often cultivate the essential "No Bullshit" communication style and practical, results-oriented mindset that our clients value in both negotiation and litigation.

Why Work at ALH Law Group?

• Culture: Join a welcoming, inclusive, and modern firm that champions diversity.
• Values: Our values—Technodexterous, No Bullshit, Get Outside, and Thank You For Being a Friend—are foundational to how we work and how we treat each other.

• Benefits: We offer competitive compensation, including a 401(k) with company match, and a commitment to work-life balance (our "Get Outside" value is real).
• Location: This role requires initial in-office training in Columbus, OH. After the training period is complete, the position offers flexibility for a hybrid or fully remote work arrangement.
• Unlimited PTO: We want our team members to work hard, then get away. We require each employee to have a minimum of 2 weeks of PTO per year. The only restriction is the number of consecutive days that can be taken off (no more than 2 weeks without a clear plan). 
• Salary: This position would start at $70,000, with the potential for a bonus once you generate 3x your salary in revenue. *We do not set minimum hours because we utilize flat fee, contingency fee, and hourly billing. The goals are all revenue-based. 

To Apply: Please submit your resume, a cover letter outlining how you live one of our core values, and a writing sample that demonstrates your ability to explain a complex legal concept in a clear, straightforward manner.

• Proven expertise and proficiency in drafting and e-filing documents with the Franklin County Probate Court.
• Demonstrable experience with estate inventory, asset valuation, debt resolution, and accounting preparation for fiduciary estates.
• Strong proficiency with legal practice management software and a desire to be Technodexterous by embracing new technology and process automation.

Compensation, Benefits, and Work Environment

• Work Arrangement: This role requires initial in-office training in Columbus, OH. After the training period is complete, the position offers flexibility for a hybrid or fully in-office work arrangement.
• Unlimited PTO: We want out team members to work hard, then get away. We require a minimum of 2 weeks of PTO per employee each year. The only restriction is the number of consecutive days that can be taken off (no more than 2 weeks without a clear plan). 
• Culture: We promote a "get outside" mentality and support a healthy work-life balance.

Preferred Qualifications (Tell Us Your Story!)

In line with our firm’s background and unique perspective, we believe individuals with diverse professional histories often bring invaluable skills, client empathy, and grit. We highly value candidates with experience in the following sectors:
