Are you a seasoned litigator who thrives on high-stakes disputes — but wants to practice law in a flexible, values-driven environment?

Bend Law Group (BLG) is seeking a Senior Business Disputes Attorney to help lead our litigation team, shape the practice, and mentor rising attorneys. This is a rare opportunity to combine complex commercial litigation with true autonomy, collaboration, and a sustainable pace.

Why This Role Is Different

Impactful work.

Handle six- to eight-figure disputes for business-minded individuals, family businesses, and high-net-worth individuals who are building something meaningful — not faceless corporations.

Leadership opportunity.

Serve as second-in-command of our business disputes team while mentoring newer attorneys and helping refine firm strategy, systems, and client service.

Flexibility and autonomy.

BLG is a 100% remote firm that measures success by results and relationships — not face time or arbitrary billable hour quotas. You control your schedule and workflow.

Culture that actually walks the talk.

No egos. No 80-hour weeks. Just talented, supportive lawyers doing impactful work with integrity and balance.

Compensation upside.

Competitive base salary plus a bonus system tied to collected revenue — not hours logged. Bonuses begin at 1,000 collected hours and scale up with performance.

Additional bonuses reward meaningful firm-building contributions like publishing, presenting, process improvements, and mentoring.

Long-term wealth building.

BLG offers a 401(k) with employer match, Profit Sharing Plan, and a Cash Balance Pension Plan with guaranteed annual interest credits — a rare benefit among boutique firms and an investment in your financial future.

Additional Reasons This Is an Awesome Role

Practice law the way it should be practiced.

We’ve stripped away the bureaucracy so that great attorneys can focus on delivering results and building meaningful client relationships.

Clients who inspire you.

Clients are innovators, founders, and business owners who value clear, strategic, business-minded advocacy. You’ll be a trusted advisor, not just a hired gun.

Shape the next phase of a growing litigation practice.

You’ll have a direct hand in steering the department’s growth, setting best practices, and building a reputation for excellence.

True work-life integration.

We trust you to manage your time. Take a midday run, attend your kid’s school event — and still deliver top-tier work on your own terms.

Support and growth.

We provide systems, templates, and litigation support so you can operate efficiently at a high level without burning out or reinventing the wheel.
