Be a Part of Our Team
We are dead serious about capitalizing on the force of clear-minds and diversity of perspective. This cannot be done if we accommodate and reward only one working style: full time, onsite, and internally competitive for billable hours. We designed Hone Law to attract successful legal experts who find BigLaw unsuited to maximizing their best qualities as legal advocates and as humans. If this is you, consider applying.
Collaborate Internally, Compete Against Real Adversaries
The traditional partner/associate hierarchy fails to incentivize effective, pro-client behaviors. BigLaw heedlessly rewards seniority, hours billed, competitive ladder-climbing, and a dead-sprint to burnout. At Hone Law, leadership and tasks are assigned to the most capable professional. We reward competence and contribution through a range of workstyles and schedules. As a result, when our legal professionals turn to their work, they are laser-focused on what matters: the client’s outcome.
Clear-Thinking Lawyers Win More Cases
Diversity
At Hone Law, “diversity” is not a box we hope to check, it is imperative to our success. We recruit legal professionals with unique personal histories, specialized legal competence, and varied cultural backgrounds. We structure our business model to accommodate and encourage the well-rounded lives our team members lead.
Flexibility
Countless studies demonstrate that sleep, exercise, diet, time with loved ones, time in nature, personal goals, and connections to our community strengthen our minds and bolster creativity, motivation, and focus. Studies further show the significant detriment to work-product, productivity, and effectiveness of professionals that regularly stretch their working hours beyond healthy limits. At Hone Law, we encourage legal professionals to keep schedules that maximize their focus, strategic creativity, and attention to detail.
Collaborative Litigation
Every professional who touches a client’s case should be highly skilled at the tasks they commit to complete. No one is an expert in all things, and so we collaborate. With precision. Team members take on leadership roles and tasks based on their choice of focus and their particularized skillset. Together, we bring uncommon results.
Open Positions
We provide exceptional opportunities for skilled litigation and trial attorneys, legal professionals, and litigation support team members. Our mission is to encourage our team members to lead healthier, more productive careers. This is the landing spot for highly skilled, talented litigators that want to better integrate their work with their lives while pursuing interesting, challenging litigation, and providing exceptional service to their clients.
Complex Commercial Litigation Attorney
Focus: Brief Writing
Competitive Pay –Flexible Full-Time Remote/Hybrid Position
4+Years Experience
This role is designed for attorneys who love complex legal work but no longer wish to operate within the traditional BigLaw structure.
At Hone Law, we compete directly with large national firms on sophisticated commercial litigation. We do it through a deliberately structured, team-based model that eliminates inefficiency without sacrificing excellence — and that allows serious litigators to do serious work, sustainably.
Why attorneys join this role:
- Sophisticated casework without unnecessary internal politics
- High-level strategic writing without being spread across non-core tasks
- Clear role definition within a highly organized litigation system
- Preparation-driven litigation rather than performative urgency
- Flexible full-time remote/hybrid structure
- High standards without chronic overwork
If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, read on.
The Role
This attorney serves as a core strategic writer within the litigation team — shaping legal architecture and translating case strategy into persuasive written advocacy.
You will:
- Work with lead counsel to translate a case’s legal framework into proactive case strategy
- Align case strategy with burdens of proof and evidentiary requirements
- Draft dispositive motions, oppositions, and replies
- Prepare mediation briefs, findings of fact and conclusions of law, and trial memoranda
- Develop voir dire strategy, trial briefing, and proposed orders
- Design direct- and cross-examination frameworks
- Collaborate closely with discovery attorneys to integrate key factual proof into briefing
- Help prepare trial counsel for hearings and trial presentation
This is not form-driven litigation work. It is disciplined, strategic, proof-centered advocacy.
You will not be expected to:
- Maintain primary client contact
- Negotiate directly with opposing counsel
- Take depositions
- Argue hearings (unless you wish to do so)
Your focus is singular: the quality of written work.
Who Thrives Here
This position is ideal for an attorney who:
- Has 4+ years of complex commercial litigation experience
- Takes pride in precise, structured, high-level legal writing
- Understands burdens of proof and builds arguments accordingly
- Values disciplined case strategy
- Communicates intellectual depth with succinct precision
We are not seeking generalists. We are seeking a strategic legal thinker who understands complex litigation architecture and enjoys building it.
Growth and Long-Term Opportunity
We support long-term professional growth, expanded strategic responsibility, and deeper involvement in complex case development over time. Attorneys who demonstrate excellence in this role may expand their influence within our litigation structure in alignment with firm needs and individual strengths.
On Compensation
Most firms quote a salary based on an expectation of 1,800 to 2,000 billable hours, with nonbillable administrative time, meetings, and training on top of that. That time is real. It is typically uncompensated.
At Hone Law, we pay for all of it.
Our attorneys are compensated on a true hourly basis — billable and non-billable time alike. This full-time role is built around a 1,560 billable hour commitment per year.
When you run the full calculation — total hours required, total hours paid — you will find the comparison favorable.
