The Opportunity

The firm is seeking experienced attorneys to join as Partners in its Litigation group. This is an opportunity to step into partnership with meaningful autonomy, flexibility, and long-term growth potential without the structural constraints of traditional large-firm models.

Partners at the firm practice at a high level, serve sophisticated clients, and collaborate with peers across the country, while maintaining control over how and where they work.

Why Attorneys Join This Firm

  • Full Partner status upon joining
  • Remote-first infrastructure with the ability to work from anywhere in the U.S.
  • Modern, technology-enabled practice designed to reduce administrative friction
  • Collaborative business development culture that supports cross-selling and growth
  • Flexibility and work-life balance not commonly found in traditional firms
  • Transparent and straightforward firm economics, aligned with attorney and client interests

Who This Is For

The firm welcomes attorneys from AmLaw firms, respected regional firms, boutiques, in-house roles, and government positions who are ready for partnership and value autonomy.

The ideal candidate will have the following qualifications:

  • Advise employers on compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws, policies, investigations, and risk management strategies
  • Represent clients in employment litigation, including discrimination, harassment, wage and hour, noncompete, and wrongful termination matters
  • Draft and negotiate employment-related agreements and oversee complex case management from pre-litigation through resolution
  • Prior experience at an AmLaw 200, Law360 400, respected regional or sophisticated boutique firm (7 years out or more)
  • Employment Practices Liability (EPL) and insurance defense experience strongly preferred
  • A minimum portable book of $350K

Location Flexibility

While the firm operates on a national platform, attorneys must be able to appear in court or before agencies in their licensed jurisdictions when required.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation Structure

  • 30% of collected fees on matters the Partner originates;
  • plus 50% of collected fees attributable to the Partners personal time worked.

Where a Partner both originates and performs work on a matter, both components apply. Compensation varies based on origination volume, hours worked, billing rates, realization, and collections. There is no cap on earning potential.

Good-faith estimated annual compensation range

$150,000 to $2,500,000+, depending on individual performance and practice economics.

Benefits

Partners may elect from tiered benefit options made available by the firm. Available offerings vary by tier and location and may include access to group insurance programs, retirement savings options, professional liability coverage, and firm-provided operational and administrative support.

Details of available tiers, eligibility, and any required contributions are provided during the partnership process and are governed by the firm's partnership agreement.
