Who We Are
We’re a small, highly focused business litigation firm based in Northern Virginia with a fully remote team. What sets us apart isn’t just our legal skill — it’s the way we show up for our clients: with clarity, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to delivering an exceptional experience.
Our values drive everything we do:
Customer Service Superstars – We go the extra mile to make our clients feel heard, supported, and confident that we’re in their corner.
Reliability & Accountability – We do what we say we’re going to do, when we say we’ll do it — no excuses.
Permanent Beta – We never stop improving. We ask better questions, test smarter solutions, and always seek a better way.
Attention to Detail – We catch the small stuff so our clients don’t have to, and we use that precision to craft smart, strategic legal solutions that serve their big-picture goals.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Business Litigation Associate Attorney who can handle matters independently, thinks strategically, and brings a client-first mindset to every interaction.
This role is 100% remote, outside of required court appearances, and is ideal for someone who wants autonomy, minimal office chatter, and a deep focus on practicing law at a high level.
What You’ll Get
Fully remote flexibility (with required in-person court appearances as needed)
Unlimited PTO
Health insurance
Paid malpractice insurance, CLEs, and professional membership fees
Competitive compensation: $110,000 – $160,000 depending on experience, plus bonus opportunity
No billable hour requirement
Full-time legal assistant/paralegal support
Minimal meetings – just a quick daily check-in, weekly case review, and a monthly virtual team lunch
Flexible working hours (our core hours are 9:30 am – 5:30 pm, but we're results-focused, not clock-focused)
401k
What You'll Do
Handle business litigation cases with a high level of independence and strategic oversight
Provide responsive, thoughtful legal counsel that reflects the client’s unique goals
Draft and review legal documents (contracts, pleadings, motions, briefs, settlements)
Conduct legal research and represent clients in court hearings and proceedings
Proactively manage deadlines and identify potential issues before they become problems
Collaborate with our team in an environment built on trust, shared ownership, and constant improvement
Qualifications
JD from an accredited law school
Active license to practice law in Virginia (DC and/or Maryland a plus)
3–5 years of litigation experience (ideally at a mid-sized or large firm)
Experience handling litigation matters independently, from pleadings to resolution
Excellent research, writing, and communication skills
Familiar with tech tools like Zoom, Office 365 (Word, Outlook, Excel, SharePoint), Adobe, and Clio
Must live in the DMV area and be willing to travel for court appearances and depositions as needed
This role is ideal for a lawyer who wants to practice with excellence, serve with heart, and grow with purpose — all in a flexible, high-performing environment.
If that sounds like the next step you’ve been looking for, we’d love to hear from you.
