Do you want to help farmers and businesspeople get creditors off their backs, preserve assets, and minimize taxes like no other law firm in the country? Ag & Business Legal Strategies is an entrepreneurial boutique firm that is on track for growth. It needs an experienced MANAGING ATTORNEY to join its team and collaborate with its owner, attorneys, and staff to support the team and help clients. The selected Managing Attorney will have the opportunity to become an owner of this dynamic law firm.

ABLS’ specialized expertise has landed the firm’s owner in venues from Congress (where he has championed changes to how the Bankruptcy Code impacts taxes owed by “right-sizing” farmers and advocated changes to the bankruptcy venue laws to require Chapter 11 debtors to file bankruptcy where they do business rather than where they are incorporated), to the United States Supreme Court (submitting an amicus curiae brief supporting farmers in Chapter 12), to appearances on various radio programs popular within the farming community across the Midwest. The owner is a frequent presenter at legal education seminars and ag financial industry training seminars across the United States.

ABLS exists to help farmers and business owners, providing them with cutting-edge services in debt restructuring negotiations and bankruptcy. Its client-centric model aims to help farmers and businesspeople understand the depth of their problems and explore the opportunities for change available to them, including options they might not initially like. ABLS aims to help its clients find comprehensive solutions to their complex problems, not merely continuing to kick the can down the road without making the business decisions that the client needs to make to ensure long-term success.

ABLS is known for helping its clients emerge from their extreme and stressful situations with the best outcomes possible. We are growing and we need a MANAGING ATTORNEY who can hit the ground running.

This position will be responsible for important work, including:

• Collaborating with the owner to take over day-to-day management of the firm; supervising the delivery of legal services by the firm’s staff; ensuring that staff meet their key performance indicators; evaluating staff and conducting periodic reviews of staff performance.
• Identify training, recruitment, client needs/opportunities, and current trends that may be impactful to the Firm in collaboration with the Administrative and Management Team.
• Work closely with Firm’s HR Team to proactively identify employee and contractor staffing needs and participate in vetting process as needed.
• Maintaining excellent communication with clients, advisors, opposing counsel, courts, and other interested parties.
• Supervising and assisting the firm’s qualified staff and professionals in evaluating the client’s overall financial, tax, and legal position.
• Assisting clients in determining realistic goals then designing strategies to accomplish those goals.
• Providing excellent legal services, including legal research; drafting petitions, schedules, motions, pleadings, orders, and status updates; and overseeing and analyzing discovery. The Managing Attorney may delegate to Junior Associates and Paralegals to accomplish these tasks but remains responsible for the final work product.
• Representing clients at mediations, negotiations, depositions, and in court, whether state court, federal district court, or bankruptcy court.
• Conducting new client meetings (also called case evaluations or initial consultations) to sell the firm’s legal services.

Technology & Systems Use

This firm uses a mixture of technology and carefully crafted policies and procedures to help leverage the firm’s team to benefit its clients and deliver a consistently excellent work product . Consequently, the following duties are critical aspects of this position.

• Train subordinate staff (e.g. paralegals, legal secretaries, .) on the firm’s policies and procedures, and audit compliance with the same as appropriate.
• Cultivating expert familiarity with the firm’s law practice management software and other technological systems to leverage these tools to enhance efficiency and consistency of the firm’s work product through all cases.

Systems Refinement:

• Using and following the firm’s policies and procedures to ensure efficient and consistent work product through all cases.
• Making suggestions to continually improve those technologies, policies, and procedures.
