Careers

Yetter Coleman is a special team.

We represent sophisticated clients across the country and in a range of industries — including the energy, technology, and financial services sectors — in high-stakes matters that affect our clients in significant ways.

We actively prepare each case for trial, finding and telling the most powerful story, and represent our clients through any appeals. For that reason, our advocacy needs to be of the highest quality.

We hire attorneys with stellar professional and academic accomplishments and provide them with the right opportunities to continue developing into first-class advocates. And we partner them with top-notch professional staff who enjoy what they do in our single goal of providing the highest level of service to our clients.

Yetter Coleman offers an entrepreneurial practice environment, competitive compensation, benefits, and a respect for work-life balance. Just as important: We are strongly committed to fostering a warm and vibrant culture that emphasizes collegiality, teamwork, and above all, treating one another with professionalism and respect. We operate as a team, enjoy working together, and support one another.

At Yetter Coleman, professional growth isn’t something we aspire to — it’s just what we do. Whether we are drafting a brief or delivering a closing statement, the Yetter team rows together toward a common goal: consistent client outcomes, reputable character, and mutual respect.

Trial Associate

If I were in Big Law, I think it would be years, if ever, before I got to make my first oral argument. I’ve already gotten to do my first oral argument here. The level of experience is huge.

Appellate Associate

In my year here, I have had excellent standup opportunities that I think are representative of what all associates here at Yetter Coleman are able to get. The Partnership here wants to invest in associates; they view the associates as future partners. In order to do that you have to make sure you’re training your associates and giving them those opportunities.

Trial Associate

You’re given this immense level of trust from the minute you start at the firm, yet you’re never left out to dry. There are always opportunities to get feedback, guidance, and mentorship. Having that trust from your colleagues to do these really difficult tasks is incredibly helpful so that you feel like you can succeed.

Trial Associate

We really get to focus on a lot of appeals that are going to alter the jurisprudence of the state and the circuit.

Appellate Associate

I feel lucky every day to work here. I feel lucky to work with the people I get to work with. Every day I am impressed and grateful at how smart they are and how warm they are and just how creative they are. It is just a lot of fun to be here. I didn’t expect to have so much fun practicing law.

Trial Associate

This is an institution that is invested not just in serving our clients and not just in doing the best legal work that we can, but also in growing our attorneys: helping them have good professional opportunities, but also in having a better life—being less stressed out, feeling like your family matters.

Trial Partner

Lateral Attorneys

Yetter Coleman welcomes lateral litigators at every level of experience, including junior associates, senior counsel, and partners.

We look for candidates with experience that complements our practice and who desire to be a good steward of our firm’s special culture of working within a tight-knit, highly effective team. Client needs are paramount in our hiring practices, including our goal of providing top-notch advocacy. To that end, we are always looking for colleagues who are eager to tackle complex disputes with energy, integrity, and skill.

When you join Yetter Coleman, you will work with some of the most talented trial and appellate lawyers in the profession. In addition, you will have a chance to work on significant cases for some of the country’s most prominent companies, while having the support to chart your own course. Our firm is committed to supporting business development efforts and helping new colleagues drive the growth of their practices.

If you are interested in working with us, let’s talk.

Judicial Clerks and Law Students

The firm focuses on recruiting judicial clerks who have completed federal and high court state clerkships. We believe this is an integral component of delivering outstanding legal service to our clients, and it ensures that junior lawyers join us well-equipped for handling meaningful case responsibilities and stand-up opportunities. In recognition of the additional training, the firm provides experience credit for completed clerkships and a competitive clerkship bonus.

We also consider exceptional candidates who have not completed judicial clerkships for first-year associate positions. The firm does not presently offer a summer associate program; we encourage law students who are interested in joining our team following graduation to apply during their 3L year.

If you are ready to begin your legal career and build a commercial litigation practice with a nationally recognized litigation boutique, please submit your resume, transcript, and writing sample to kreynolds@yettercoleman.com.
