The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  HFF is hiring a Associate Attorney in Fort Collins, CO.

• Role description

  If DocuSign is the thing you reach for before coffee, HFF's Associate Attorney opening in Fort Collins, CO was written with you in mind. What sets the offer apart is trust — $52,000 - $75,000 and freelance hours are nice, but the general ownership is the headline.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Coach newer junior teammates through their first messy general project
  • Push back, respectfully, when a Legal Citation shortcut will cost us later
  • Follow safety protocols and best practices at all times
  • Pressure-test assumptions before they harden into expensive mistakes
  • Find the results-oriented workaround when the official path is blocked
  • Deliver high-growth results that align with broader business objectives
  • Guard the HFF customer experience through every Legal Citation change
  • Absorb 1 of context fast and start contributing sooner

  What You'll Bring

  • 1+ years putting Legal Citation to work in a general setting
  • A history of leaving general processes better than you found them
  • Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a freelance project
  • Experience at the junior level inside a freelance role
  • The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
  • A portfolio or work samples that demonstrate your general expertise

  HFF doesn't sell general so much as guarantee it, a hardworking distinction the Fort Collins, CO team takes personally. A junior title opens doors here, but earning real trust is what keeps them open.

  We answer the money question first with $52,000 - $75,000, then keep going with growth budgets, mentorship, and a flexible freelance schedule.
