Our leadership continually strives to develop a company, culture, and team that share a profound love for the law and are compelled to help small law firms find success. Our mission isn’t simple, but it is straightforward: help small law firms be successful businesses so that they can better serve our communities.

What We Need:

A successful onboarding experience is pivotal in fostering a good client relationship, which means this role is one of the most important at Smokeball. We need highly skilled communicators and trainers to help make the clients’ introduction to our software as seamless as possible. If you also have experience in the legal industry, even better!
