Prior to ABS approval, the role will be limited to permitted preparatory, operational and other non-client legal-services activities as we prepare for launch.

Sprintlaw is currently seeking approval to operate an Alternative Business Structure in Arizona. We do not currently operate as a law firm in Arizona, and the provision of legal services through the proposed ABS is subject to regulatory approval.

Any client-facing legal-services responsibilities will commence only after the required regulatory approval has been granted. Prior to approval, the role will be limited to permitted preparatory, operational and non-client legal-services activities.

At this stage, only successful candidates will be contacted.
