We are looking for an experienced Employment/Business Litigation Attorney to join our team and help expand our litigation capabilities.
The Role:
We are seeking an attorney with strong experience in employment litigation and/or general business litigation who can independently analyze disputes, develop strategy, communicate with clients, and manage matters through resolution.

- Communicate directly with clients regarding case strategy, status, risk, and next steps
- Advise business clients on employment disputes and other potential litigation before disputes escalate
- Work collaboratively with partners and other attorneys
- Identify opportunities to resolve matters efficiently when appropriate
- Maintain strong organization and case management across multiple matters
- Contribute to the development of litigation processes, templates, and firm resources

What We Are Looking For:
We are looking for a litigator who is both strategic and practical. Our clients are entrepreneurs and business owners. They need an attorney who can explain what is happening, assess the real-world risks, identify their options, and help them make informed decisions, not just litigation for the sake of litigation. We value excellent legal work, responsiveness, collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate is confident enough to take ownership of a matter, collaborative enough to work closely with a team, and practical enough to understand that the best legal outcome is not always the most complicated one. Why LengeaLengea is not a traditional law firm. We are a remote, technology-forward firm serving a rapidly evolving healthcare industry. Our attorneys work with businesses across a rapidly changing healthcare landscape, giving our team exposure to sophisticated and often novel legal issues. We use technology and AI throughout our workflows and continually look for ways to improve how legal services are delivered. If you are an experienced litigator looking for the opportunity to work with interesting businesses, take meaningful ownership of your matters, and be part of a growing and forward-thinking firm, we would like to hear from you.
