Relevant Law is hiring an Of Counsel business attorney to build our Front Range advisory practice. This role is designed for a senior practitioner with a decade or more of experience advising owners, founders, and executives through high-complexity transactions and governance challenges — and who wants the infrastructure, technology, and operational support to focus purely on advisory work. The Relevant Law platform eliminates the administrative overhead of independent practice while preserving full practice autonomy. You will operate within an AI-augmented model where Legal Project Managers and Legal Analysts handle document production and research under your strategic direction, enabling you to concentrate on the diagnostic analysis, relationship-building, and deal judgment that create enterprise-grade client outcomes.
Responsibilities
Serve as senior strategic counsel to business owners throughout the Front Range and Colorado Springs market, leading each engagement from diagnostic analysis through execution
Structure and lead complex transactions including formations, restructurings, equity arrangements, acquisitions, and succession plans — exercising the judgment to determine the right approach for each situation
Advise on entity governance, operating agreements, and ownership arrangements with the experience to anticipate how current decisions constrain or enable future options
Supervise AI-augmented drafting and research workflows — reviewing AI-generated operating agreements, contracts, and analytical memoranda for legal precision and strategic alignment before client delivery
Direct and mentor associate attorneys and Legal Project Managers in the Colorado office, elevating the practice's analytical, advisory, and AI-fluent capacity
Develop a client-advisory practice within the Relevant Law platform that reflects your experience, judgment, and market relationships
Requirements
J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school
Colorado Bar membership in good standing
10+ years of substantive business law experience advising closely held businesses, founders, and executives through complex transactions, governance challenges, and ownership transitions
Deep command of entity selection, capitalization structures, and how entity type (LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, partnership) affects operations, governance, tax position, and exit architecture
Proven ability to analyze multi-dimensional business problems and recommend the appropriate instruments and structures — not simply execute the transaction initially requested
Transactional range spanning formations, operating agreements, commercial contracts, equity arrangements, M&A, and business succession
Working fluency with AI-assisted legal workflows — comfort directing AI-generated drafts and research through substantive review, with the judgment to identify where technology-generated output requires correction or enhancement
Entrepreneurial orientation with genuine understanding of the operating realities business owners face — advising from both legal knowledge and business intuition
What We Offer
Flexible arrangements with full practice autonomy
Competitive compensation structure
Full administrative, technology, and marketing support
AI-augmented practice environment with enterprise technology infrastructure
Collaborative multi-state attorney network
