About Us

Called the “Wave of the Future,” Scale LLP is a top-tier distributed law firm built by Silicon Valley founders and GCs to provide an alternative to a traditional private practice. By leveraging technology and a distributed structure, Scale provides attorneys with a more satisfying, flexible, lucrative practice and clients with a more connected, efficient legal service provider. Scale's attorneys work for a variety of clients across Corporate, Fintech, Intellectual Property, Real Estate, and Litigation practice groups. Founded to support early-stage, venture-backed companies, we continue to bring a tech-forward, disruptive ethos to everything we do.

How We Work

Scale attorneys are not salaried; instead, Scale pays attorneys a percentage of the fees collected from their clients. Unlike in a traditional law firm setting, where attorneys typically receive a third of the value they create for the law firm, Scale attorneys net a combination of collected origination and matter responsible fees.

Who We're Seeking

We are always looking for excellent attorneys of all stripes to join our firm.

• Association as Counsel: We are willing to accept attorneys from senior in-house positions with no demonstrable book as counsel. Because the firm’s collections-based model only works for attorneys capable of developing client work, however, we require applicants to identify at least one anchor client and articulate a clear business development plan at association.
• Partnership: To be considered for a lateral partnership, we ask that applicants be prepared to demonstrate a significant transferrable book of originations. Attorneys who have less are welcome to apply for a position as counsel.

Requirements

• Applicants must have at least 7 years of experience at an AmLaw 100 law firm, or in-house with a reputable company.
• Graduated from a top-tier law school, or be able to demonstrate an excellent and sustained reputation in industry.

In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.

Diversity & Inclusion

At Scale LLP, we believe a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion is integral to hiring exceptional people and creating enduring businesses. We strive to create an organization where every individual is valued and empowered to reach their full potential. We are committed to ensuring Scale is one of the best places to work for all by creating diverse teams, strengthening our culture of inclusion, and giving everyone an equitable opportunity to succeed.
