If you've been perusing our career page lately, you've probably noticed we're on the hunt for another attorney to join our growing firm. But not just an attorney will do. They have to be hungry, creative-minded, and relatable (among many other things). In fact, there are five key criteria we evaluate in a target before hiring them.

Sound like you? Good. Here's what we need to complete our dream team:

Today marks Gutwein Law's fifth birthday, and we couldn't be more excited! It's been an unbelievable five years and we're incredibly happy to reflect on the ways we've grown. To help us celebrate this milestone, we wanted to take a look back at where we've been in the past five years, and where we heading in the next five.

So, why'd we start Gutwein Law? Well, as we always say, our firm exists for one reason – to help the best, most forward-thinking businesses in the world grow through high-level legal counsel. When we founded our firm, we knew right away we had a different perspective. As you may already know, we not only practice law on a daily basis, but business, too. A number of firm's team members own businesses themselves, so we know first-hand what our clients are after (sometimes before they do). We believe this approach, along with our other ideals, has strongly contributed to our success over the past five years.

If you're not an attorney in Indiana, it's likely you've never heard of The Indianapolis Bar Association’s Bar Leader Series program. But don't let that take away from its importance. The Bar Leader Series is designed to connect young, energized lawyers with leaders in Central Indiana in order to help them grow into future leaders themselves.

I'm honored to say I recently participated and graduated from this program.

Think of a lawyer. What comes to mind? If you’re like some of America, you may not necessarily be thrilled with the image. But throw that idea out the window because I want to tell you about my experience working as a summer associate at Gutwein Law.                   

While wrapping up my last days here at the firm, I was asked to write a blog post about my experiences. The truth is, I could probably fill much more than a 500-word blog post about what I learned this summer, but I’ve done my best to keep it short. Here it goes:

Last year, Gutwein Law opened our second office in Indianapolis, Indiana. Thirteen months and three additional attorneys later, and our intellectual property practice is flourishing. We wanted to come up with a way to share our collective knowledge and experience with the people who need it but may not be ready to formally hire an attorney yet. From there, a solution was born.
