• 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

• 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.
