The successful candidate must be admitted and in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar, exhibit excellent judgment, and bring a proactive, client-centric approach to every matter.

Scale LLP offers highly flexible work arrangements, enabling lawyers to work remotely from anywhere in the United States. The firm embraces a distributed, entrepreneurial culture where attorneys have substantial autonomy over their practices, including control over billing rates and client selection. Compensation is competitive and primarily based on a transparent, revenue-sharing model that rewards individual initiative and performance.
