Job description

Our Story

TopDog Law is not your typical law firm. We're a nationally scaling personal injury firm built for impact and growth — owning the client experience end-to-end, from marketing and intake through litigation. We believe that world-class marketing, paired with exceptional legal talent and operations, creates better experiences and outcomes for clients and the business alike.

Over the past three years, we've grown 2–3x year over year, setting a new standard on the marketing side of the personal injury space and proving what's possible when strategy, speed, and execution align. Now we're applying that same discipline and innovation to firm operations, case management, and national scale — intentionally building the infrastructure, systems, and teams to grow without sacrificing quality, culture, or accountability.

We are a fully remote team that share trust, open communication, and a commitment to doing great work. If you love ownership, thrive in a fast-moving environment, and want to help build something exceptional, you'll feel right at home here.

The Opportunity

As TopDog Law scales its state-centric litigation pods nationally, we need an experienced Litigation Attorney to own a Washington litigation docket from filing through resolution. This role is critical to maintaining case velocity and settlement quality as our Tennessee litigation team grows, ensuring every matter on their docket is litigation‑ready, every deadline is met, and every client gets an outcome that reflects real advocacy, not just volume. You'll be a key contributor to our Tennessee litigation bench as we invest in state-level ownership and accountability.
