PJI Law, PLC, a boutique, service-focused, and fast-growing Virginia law firm, is looking for another kind, smart, and motivated attorney to join our wonderful team in our Richmond office.

We are looking for a full-time, Virginia-licensed attorney with civil litigation and trial experience. This position is ideal for an attorney who would enjoy the opportunity to interact with clients daily, design and execute strategies for their cases, and have significant independence in handling their caseload while at the same time having a strong support system from an excellent team of attorneys and committed support team members. Our firm exists to help those who wish to obtain legal protection and security for their families, sometimes in the wake of a personal, professional, or financial loss, and this position is crucial in allowing us to effectively help them.

We like our attorneys to focus on doing what they do best, which is excellent legal work. Therefore, we do not expect our attorneys to be responsible for any business development, attending bar association mixers, or engaging in marketing for the firm, unless they want to. We do not expect our attorneys to file documents, troubleshoot printers, or write blogs. We are well-staffed and are proud to have a happy team, a structure that gives our attorneys access to a reliable support team for assistance. This allows our attorneys to focus on their core talents and work efficiently.

Our firm is professionally managed, and our office is a team environment. You will be working with other dedicated members of our team who work hard to get the job done right, who take pride in their work, and who support each other through thick and thin. Every year since 2022, we have earned the prestigious “Great Place to Work” certification, with our employees over these years praising our firm as a great place to work in an anonymous third-party survey. Our approach has allowed us to succeed and build a loyal client base that has sustained our strong growth and has earned us various awards as well as enthusiastic client reviews. As a result, every year since 2023, our firm has been honored with a place on the Inc. 5000 list, which celebrates the fastest-growing companies in the United States.

Additional qualifications include:

• Experience in civil litigation, including Virginia circuit court trial experience, is required.
• Experience in commercial, contract, and/or real estate litigation is a plus, but not required.
• Excellent organizational skills and ability to closely follow established policies and procedures.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to genuinely connect with clients and potential clients.
• DC and/or Maryland licenses are a plus, but not required.

Compensation includes a base salary and productivity bonuses, which together would be in the range of $120,000 - $170,000+, depending on experience.

Additional benefits include:

• Work-from-home Mondays
• Origination bonuses
