- Communicate promptly with the firm on any time-sensitive Virginia-related matters.
Qualifications
- Active license to practice law in the State of Virginia, in good standing with the State Bar of Virginia.
- Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an ABA-accredited law school.
- Minimum of 3–5 years of legal practice experience (preferred but flexible).
- Current malpractice insurance coverage (or willingness to obtain).
- Strong communication skills and reliable responsiveness.
- Comfortable working independently in a remote, collaborative arrangement.
Engagement Details
- Position Type: Of Counsel – independent contractor / affiliation basis.
- Time Commitment: Minimal and as-needed; ideal for attorneys with an existing practice.
- Location: Remote
- Term: Ongoing, with a written Of Counsel agreement consistent with Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct.
Why This Role
This is a low-effort, high-flexibility role well suited to an Virginia attorney who wants a stable supplemental affiliation without taking on a full caseload. You will work with an established, professional team, and the arrangement is designed to be simple, respectful of your time, and easy to maintain alongside your existing practice.
