Careers at Grimshaw & Harring
At Grimshaw & Harring, every lawyer is considered a valued member of the firm and is expected to meet the highest of professional standards. Attorneys are evaluated not only based upon productivity in terms of hours billed, but also quality of work product, client development, client satisfaction, and overall contributions to the firm. We expect our attorneys to mentor and train other lawyers, provide support to one another on difficult or time-consuming projects to ensure a quality product, develope specialized knowledge in a practice area, add to the firm as a business enterprise, and make a difference in the community. We have a diverse group of attorneys with different strengths and interests that make Grimshaw & Harring successful. We are a firm where great lawyers come together to produce an exceptional product for our clients.
Attorney Positions
Recruiting at Grimshaw & Harring starts locally. While we have a long standing Summer Clerk program, we do not hire a new class of attorneys each year. Rather, we hire new associates only after assessing our long term needs. We take pride in the fact that we have grown thoughtfully over the last fifteen years, hiring when necessary to achieve a long term growth plan, rather than simply to grow larger. Our low attrition rate is evidence that each attorney is hired with the intent that the fit will be long term. When we are not actively seeking to hire anyone, we do accept inquiries and will take a thoughtful look at each resume so as not to miss any opportunities for adding remarkable lawyers. Please direct all inquiries to Paul J. Hanley.

Summer Clerk Program
Each year we hire one or two summer associates who spend 8 to 12 weeks working with us to learn what it is like to be a new associate at Grimshaw & Harring. We conduct on-campus interviews at the University of Colorado School of Law and the Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver each fall, and we also accept resumes from students around the country seeking a summer clerkship. A Law Clerk coordinator is assigned from within the firm, an attorney who plays the role of mentor, and it is their job to make sure the clerks have adequate and diverse work flow. Also, given our open-door, team oriented approach, our clerks typically find that any questions and concerns can be taken up with any of our attorneys.
Summer projects range from legal memoranda, motion and brief writing, to investigation and research out of the office at places like the State Engineer’s office, county planning departments and various clerk and recorder’s offices. Most summer clerks are given the opportunity to attend depositions, hearings, trials, closings, or a variety of other out-of-the-office meetings with attorneys as well.
** 2010 Summer Clerk Positions are filled. **
Our needs for Summer Clerk Program for 2010 have been addressed and filled at this time. If you are interested and would like to be considered for Grimshaw & Harring’s 2011 Summer Clerk Position, we will be accepting applications in July, 2010. Please send cover letter, resume, writing sample, and law school G.P.A.
Administrative and Staff Positions
Our mission is to achieve success for our clients. To help us make this happen, we understand it is imperative to have an exemplary support staff. For our 24 attorneys, we employ five paralegals, seven legal assistants, and an administrative staff of six more. Most of our staff members have been with us for years, with more than half crossing the ten year mark. We believe in our family, and should we need to add to it, we will post available positions right here.
