Government shutdowns and disruptions in government job security create uncertainty, but your career does not have to be on hold. For government attorneys and professionals, this may be the perfect time to explore private practice without a firm.

At Vanderpool, Frostick & Nishanian, P.C. (VF&N Law), we’re actively hiring:

  • Civil Litigation Attorney
  • Municipal/ Land Use Attorney
  • Civil Litigation Paralegal

If you’re looking for stability, growth, a great place to work, and a chance to make a direct impact, your next career move may be here.

Why Government Attorneys and Paralegals Are a Great Fit

  1. Regulatory & Legal Insight
    Government service builds a strong foundation in statutes, compliance, and courtroom procedure. Those skills directly translate to civil litigation and municipal law.
  2. Commitment to Community
    Whether serving the public through agencies or the courts, government professionals have a service mindset. In private practice, you’ll continue serving — but with greater flexibility and impact.
  3. Adaptability & Resilience
    Shutdowns, shifting budgets, and policy changes prepare government employees to handle pressure. Private practice values that flexibility.
