Keep more of what you make at Jones & Keller.

Build your practice at a Denver law firm that works differently

Jones & Keller is a full-service business law firm in Denver, Colorado, where experienced attorneys practice sophisticated law without the overhead, politics, or billable-hour pressure that defines large firm life. We are actively recruiting talented attorneys and lateral groups who want to grow their practice on their own terms.

Why attorneys choose Jones & Keller

Our model is built around one idea: attorneys should keep more of what they earn and have genuine control over how they work.

  • Shareholders retain 85% of revenue on non-originated work — one of the highest retention rates in the Denver legal market
  • A flat, non-hierarchical structure where every shareholder holds an equal vote
  • Flexible hours and a collegial environment that supports the lifestyle you want
  • Cross-selling across 16+ practice areas is actively rewarded and a primary source of business generation
  • Competitive salaries and generous benefits for all employees and associates

Who we’re looking for

Associates and senior associates who want to work on sophisticated matters — including M&A, securities litigation, private equity, real estate, and commercial litigation — alongside experienced practitioners in a collaborative environment.
Lateral shareholders and practice groups who are looking to reduce overhead costs, retain more of their revenue, and maintain their existing client relationships within a full-service platform.

A good fit at Jones & Keller is someone who is highly motivated, responsive to clients, collaborative by nature, and looking to reduce firm overhead without sacrificing the depth of resources and cross-disciplinary support that complex matters require.

Our practice environment

Our attorneys serve clients locally in Colorado, nationally, and internationally across more than 16 practice areas. When matters require it, our lawyers work in multi-disciplinary teams — combining expertise in areas such as tax, healthcare, employment, and finance — to serve client needs efficiently. Every attorney we add must strengthen the range and quality of our work without diluting the close relationships we maintain with clients and each other.

We are committed to diversity and inclusion as a core part of how we grow.

Frequently asked questions

What practice areas is Jones & Keller currently hiring for? We are adding lawyers who will strengthen or diversify our existing practice areas. Current priorities include corporate, litigation, M&A, private equity, real estate, and securities, though we welcome conversations across all practice groups.
What does the 85% retention model mean in practice? For non-originated work (matters you handle but did not bring in), shareholders keep 85 cents of every dollar collected. This is significantly above the industry norm and is part of a transparent economic model designed to reward productivity fairly.
Does Jones & Keller support flexible or remote work arrangements? Yes — flexible hours are a firm-wide benefit. Arrangements vary by role and practice group.
How does the equal shareholder vote work? Each shareholder at Jones & Keller holds one vote regardless of seniority or book of business. This flattened governance structure keeps the firm collaborative and free of the power dynamics common in traditional law firm lockstep models.
