Careers at CGL

A Better Way to Practice Law 

CGL is a modern law firm built for exceptional attorneys who want to practice at a high level, without sacrificing autonomy, collaboration, or life outside of work. 

We work with attorneys who bring strong judgment, professional rigor, and a deep sense of ownership to their client relationships. Professionals who want to build long-term careers doing thoughtful, high-quality work alongside peers they respect and trust. CGL is built for attorneys who care deeply about the quality and integrity of their work and want a sustainable, long-term way to practice law. 

At CGL, we believe great legal work is only sustainable when attorneys are empowered to operate as professionals, not managed by minimum billable hours, hierarchy, or outdated firm structures. 

Who Thrives Here 

CGL is a strong fit for experienced attorneys who: 

• Practice at a senior level and bring sound business judgment to their work 

• Value autonomy and want flexibility and control over how and where they work 

• Enjoy collaborating with other high-caliber attorneys, rather than operating in isolation 

• Think like business partners, not just technical specialists 

• Want a long-term professional home, not a short-term platform 

Many of our attorneys have Big Law backgrounds, in-house experience, or both. What matters most to us is how you think, how you advise clients, and how you show up as a professional. 

How We Work 

At CGL, you own your practice, but you’re never on your own. You lead your own client matters and we provide the infrastructure to manage those matters and a senior bench to staff thoughtfully.  

We operate with a distributed, high-trust model that gives attorneys real flexibility, while  fostering collaboration across the firm. We intentionally create opportunities for attorneys to connect, share insight, and support one another because the best client outcomes come from collective thinking, not silos. 

You’ll have access to firm infrastructure, branding, systems, and a deep bench of experienced colleagues, without the bureaucracy or rigidity of a traditional firm.

• No billing minimums 
• Freedom over schedule and location 
• A collaborative bench of senior attorneys 
• Thoughtful firm leadership and clear expectations 
• A firm built for longevity, not burnout 
• A culture grounded in accountability, excellence, and integrity
