Contract Litigation Attorney (California - Remote)

At Scale LLP, we have built a different kind of law firm, one that gives experienced attorneys the freedom to practice on their terms and the support of a national team, without the overhead and bureaucracy of traditional firms. We are seeking a California-barred litigator who can be located anywhere within California. You will work alongside a highly regarded partner who serves clients across the outdoor recreation, sports, hospitality, and resort industries.

The Opportunity
