Job Description
You Don’t Have To Do It Alone Anymore
Live the life you want. (Seriously.)
We’ll hand you the clients. You help them create their future.
We’re a 100% virtual law firm operating out of New York, Massachusetts, and now New Jersey. Our caseload is large and alive. We’ll hand you cases like gifts from the legal gods. You won’t have to find them yourself. That’s not your job. Your job is being a lawyer. Remember that? You will get to use our paralegals, support staff, and cutting-edge technology, and we bear 100% of the collections risk on your cases. You get paid, like clockwork, every week.
What You’ll Actually Do
You’ll make court appearances, attend conferences, draft motions, and argue about property division and parenting schedules with grace. You’ll negotiate settlements and help people part ways with dignity.
You’ll be Of Counsel, meaning you’re one of us, but also free. You’ll have a team. Support staff. Fellow lawyers. Actual systems. You’ll do real lawyering without all the nonsense.
