Partner or Counsel

Overview

A national law practice is seeking experienced attorneys to join its growing distributed team. This top-tier firm was founded by Silicon Valley founders and general counsels to offer an alternative to traditional private practice by leveraging technology and a distributed structure. The firm supports attorneys with a flexible, lucrative practice model and serves clients across Corporate, Fintech, Intellectual Property, Real Estate, and Litigation practice areas. Originally focused on early-stage, venture-backed companies, the firm maintains a tech-forward and disruptive approach.

How the Firm Operates

Attorneys are compensated based on a percentage of fees collected from their clients rather than a salary. Unlike traditional law firms where attorneys typically receive about one-third of the value they generate, attorneys here earn a combination of collected origination and matter-responsible fees.

Who They Are Seeking

The firm is looking for excellent attorneys across various practice areas:

• Association as Counsel: Attorneys from senior in-house positions without a demonstrable book of business are welcome to apply as counsel. However, applicants must identify at least one anchor client and present a clear business development plan to succeed under the collections-based model.
• Partnership: Candidates for lateral partnership should demonstrate a significant transferable book of originations. Those with less extensive books are encouraged to apply for counsel positions.

Minimum Qualifications

• At least 7 years of experience at an AmLaw 100 law firm or in-house with a reputable company.
• Graduation from a top-tier law school or demonstrated excellent and sustained reputation in the industry.
• Eligibility to work in the United States, with verification required upon hire.

Equal Opportunity Statement

The firm is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer. Qualified applicants are evaluated without regard to race, color, religion (including religious dress and grooming practices), sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, related medical conditions, breastfeeding, and conditions related to breastfeeding), gender, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, ancestry, age (40 or over), physical or medical disability, medical condition, marital status, registered domestic partner status, sexual orientation, genetic information, military and/or veteran status, or any other basis prohibited by applicable state or federal law.
