Careers

We invite you to inquire about employment opportunities at Rath, Young and Pignatelli.

Our lawyers, professionals, and staff have chosen New England as a place to live, work, and raise a family. Many of us come to New Hampshire with backgrounds from large metropolitan law firms. These large firms offer excellent training and career challenges, but often require a substantial trade-off in lost time to enjoy life. We pride ourselves on offering a workplace to serve clients with challenging issues, but in an environment that allows balance and pace to your whole life.

Rath, Young and Pignatelli is proud of the breadth and challenge of its practice and its location in beautiful New England. Our ability to succeed depends on attracting highly qualified lawyers with a commitment to professional growth. Strategic hiring is essential to broadening our expertise, strengthening our service to existing clients, and enhancing our prospects for new clients. We require strong writing skills and excellent academic credentials and seek candidates with independence and entrepreneurial spirit, character, sound judgment, and leadership potential.
