Position Overview

Our firm is seeking a licensed Virginia attorney to serve in an Of Counsel capacity. This is a part-time, low-volume engagement designed for an experienced practitioner who is looking to supplement an existing practice with a flexible, straightforward affiliation.

The role involves minimal day-to-day involvement and is structured to require only light, as-needed participation. Most matters will be handled by our core legal team; the Of Counsel attorney will primarily serve as our Virginia-licensed counsel of record and advisor on Virginia-specific issues as they arise.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the firm's Virginia-licensed attorney of record on select matters involving Virginia law or Virginia-based clients.
• Provide occasional consultation on Virginia state law, local rules, and procedural questions as they arise.
• Review filings, correspondence, or documents that require signature or oversight by Virginia-licensed counsel.
• Maintain good standing with the State Bar of Virginia throughout the engagement.
• 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.
