Litigation Attorney

If you're tired of being a cog in a machine, this might be your next chapter.

You're Ready to Leave Because...

You're capable of so much more than drafting the 47th iteration of a brief that six partners will redline into oblivion. You're tired of:

• Billing your life away with no recognition beyond "hit your hours"
• Being treated like a junior associate, even though you've been practicing for years
• Drowning in busy work instead of doing actual legal strategy
• Never seeing the finish line on your own cases
• Wondering if anyone notices when you go above and beyond

You didn't go to law school to be micromanaged. You went to be a lawyer.

What Your Day Actually Looks Like Here

• You'll own your cases. From the first client call to the final settlement agreement, you're the strategist, the communicator, and the closer. No one's going to swoop in at the last minute to take credit.
• You'll have a training wheels period, but not for long. We specialize in franchise law, and we don't expect you to know it on day one. But you'll get structured mentorship to get up to speed fast, and then we trust you to run with it.
• You'll talk to humans, not just documents. Significant client interaction means you're building relationships, understanding their businesses, and delivering solutions they actually understand. You're their advocate, not just their paperwork factory.
• Fridays? You're working from home. Yoga pants, your dog, your couch. Whatever helps you close out the week strong.

What We're Actually Promising You

• Autonomy Without Abandonment: You'll handle pre-lawsuit disputes independently—but you're never left guessing. Need to brainstorm a strategy? Run something by a partner? We're a phone call away. You just won't have someone breathing down your neck about how you formatted a header. And when it comes to active litigation, you’ll work with other attorneys passionate about representing franchisees.
• Your Wins Are Your Wins: 1,700 billable target (including 100 creditable non-billable hours), Quarterly performance bonuses that actually reward the work you put in, and Origination credit when you bring in business.
• A Team That Actually Likes Each Other: We do team events. We laugh. We have inside jokes. We're not pretending to be a "family," but we genuinely respect and support each other. You won't dread Monday mornings here.
• Room to Grow: This isn't a dead-end role. As the firm grows, so do you. Whether that means taking on bigger cases, mentoring junior attorneys down the line, or building your own book of business, we're invested in your trajectory.

Grinding yourself into dust, no. If we sound like the firm you've been hoping existed, let's talk.
