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

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 ycrecruiting@yettercoleman.com.
Professional Support Staff
At Yetter Coleman, every member of the firm makes valuable contributions to the firm and is important to the success of the firm and our ability to provide exceptional service to our clients. That is why we recruit top-notch talent for our staff as well as our attorneys.
Open administrative positions will be posted when opportunities are available.
We are committed to offering an equal opportunity for employment to qualified candidates regardless of an individual's race, creed, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
