Open Positions

PLDR Law seeks to add a motivated, team-oriented attorney to make an immediate impact in our growing firm.

You’ll join a 15-attorney team working on a diverse array of challenging matters that include, but are by no means limited to, a mix of corporate law, estate planning, and commercial and real estate transactions. Our ideal candidate is an excellent teammate and has the drive and polish to build their own book of business while also supporting our efforts to build systems that ensure we are most effective, efficient, and strategic. Our immediate need is for a transactional law attorney to grow and strengthen our robust corporate law and estate planning practice areas.

PLDR Law offers a competitive salary and compensation package with additional incentive opportunities. With two locations in Lynchburg and Danville, Virginia, we offer candidates a unique opportunity to participate in a professional legal operation while living in a comfortable, relaxed, and community-centered environment.

• Working directly with clients to create legal strategies with them in person and on the phone/video

• Legal technology and innovation
• Pushing against the status quo, not just doing things the way they've "always been done"
• Always doing the right thing for clients, no matter what
• Accomplishing clear performance expectations
• Open and transparent feedback and communication, and being rewarded for exceeding expectations

Salary Range:

Starting salary commensurate with experience

• Providing a comprehensive, anticipatory, and enjoyable experience for our clients
• Guiding new and existing clients through legal strategies that will be in their best interests
• Contributing to the success of the team even if it means going outside of your job description
