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.

• 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.
