Summary Generated by Built In
Overview:
Corporate Tools in Post Falls, Idaho is building a team of 5 +/- lawyers. As we grow, we're looking to transition from kicking the can and reactionary legal decision making (otherwise known as firefighting), to using legal decisions to drive the company and steer our growth. This is a M-F 40 hour or less a week job. We don't have employees take emails home with them. We don't work after hours. We believe in using work to pay for a lifestyle outside of working.
As one of our "The Lawyers" you'll be working with a curated group of fun and talented lawyers to build from the ground up how we use legal to drive our company. Your work here WILL MATTER. Day like 45 or so after you start to see how much work everyone has squirreled away in their file cabinets for you over the years or people start to realize we have a smart team of in house lawyers ready to dig in and start dusting off all the junk on the corner of their desks we let sit for one reason or another.
It's an exciting time for us. It's an exciting transition. We should have built this team a few years ago... but we didn't. But we are building it now. How will it all work out?? Well. We're not sure, but we're going to hire 5ish lawyers over some time that are good humans and smart people and let them figure it out. If you're looking for a job that matters, please read on:
Wage:
$70,000 - $150,000 annual salary depending on relevant experience

The Company
What We Do
Corporate Tools is proudly, stubbornly independent. No outside investors calling the shots. It’s just us choosing customers over profits, every time. We build the behind-the-scenes tools that keep businesses running: software, LLC filings, registered agent service, website and domain registration, address services… basically all the unglamorous stuff that makes companies actually work. We’ve grown into one of the largest B2B providers in the U.S. by sticking to a simple mission: solve the real, messy, confusing problems of starting and running a business, while keeping your privacy intact and making your life a whole lot easier.
Why Work With Us
We’re privately held, debt free, and focused on people. Not investors. That means we can keep hiring folks we like, building tools that actually work, and making sure our customers are taken care of. If you want to know more about what values drive us, check out our Company Principles.
