O’Donnell Lee Marden Dubord (OLMD) has an excellent employment opportunity for a litigation attorney with three or more years’ experience in all aspects of general civil litigation including negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and trial work.

At OLMD, the litigation attorney will represent our clients across a wide spectrum of substantive legal areas, including business, real estate, contracts, contested probate, and more. The attorney will benefit from our friendly, experienced staff; our modern office and conference facilities; robust technology systems; and eminent reputation. We can be the foundation for the continued growth of your legal career. This is a partnership track position.

The successful candidate must have excellent verbal and writing skills, an even-tempered personality, analytical mind, sense of humor, strong attention to detail, and excellent technology skills. But above all, the lawyer must have an inquisitive mind, a commitment to doing the best for their clients, and a drive to independently learn and master new areas of law, improve, and excel in everything they do.

Applicants must be a current member of the Maine Bar in good standing. Strong preference given to those candidates who have a connection to Central Maine.

Bringing along a trusted staff member is possible and negotiable.

FIRM CULTURE:

We maintain a friendly, fun, supportive environment, while working on the serious matters of our clients and community. Our close-knit firm prioritizes a healthy work-life balance for attorneys and staff, and prides itself on offering responsive, exceptional legal services to our clients. The senior attorneys are down-to-earth, enthusiastic mentors, anxious to share their knowledge and act as an ongoing resource. We know that there is a wide range of choices for lawyer positions in Maine. What makes us confident we are a better choice than those other opportunities? We can confidently say, “our people.” Both our attorneys and our staff are dedicated people with high standards, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Cooperation and good humor ensure that we remain a cohesive team unified against challenges coming from our work and not from each other.

OLMD is more than just a law firm, we are members of the community. As such our attorneys are expected to take on non-billable work serving on non-profit boards and/or volunteering with organizations of their choice to develop connections and a presence within the Waterville community or that of surrounding towns. Central Maine’s population is still small enough that we or our family members regularly greet our clients and their families at school, the grocery store, church, restaurants, and recreational events.

SALARY AND BENEFITS:

Salary will depend on experience and productivity.

We have paid holidays for all of the federal holidays, the regional Patriots’ Day holiday, and the Friday after Thanksgiving. We offer paid sick leave with no specific allotments, the honor system having served us well since 1997.

O’Donnell Lee also offers a cafeteria plan, contributing an additional percentage of an employee’s salary to be used on our group health insurance options (including an HSA plan), vision insurance, flexible spending account, or cash withdrawal (reduced by taxes).

We also offer a retirement plan with employer match after a prerequisite period of employment.

O’Donnell Lee pays for attorneys’ bar dues and continuing legal education expenses.

There is also a lot of free food, cookies, and candy.
