Litigation Attorney

Fortra Law is hiring a Litigation Attorney

Who are we?

Un-firm. It's one of our core values. Are you working for a firm where you can't be the same person at work as you are at home? We want you to be the authentic you every day.

We mostly work with real estate mortgage professionals. Lenders, brokers and loan originators. Mostly non-bank.

We have 5 attorneys and 3 paralegals on our Litigation Team and are excited about adding another attorney. We believe in technology. We try to harness it to our advantage. We make it easy to work from anywhere in the world.

Vertical Integration. We are fully supported to assist our clients with whatever they may need with a corporate/securities group as well as real estate/finance transactional team.

Who are you?

3-15 years of litigation experience required. Creditor representation is strongly preferred (collection and defense). Real estate secured lender representation would fit well. Unlawful Detainer and Bankruptcy experience are definite pluses. We would love someone with experience taking depositions, drafting pleadings, making court appearances, direct client communication, etc. Self-Motivated. We do not micromanage our people. You must be able to work autonomously.

Customer Service Oriented. A good litigation attorney will need to balance difficult clients as well as opposing counsel to get the case resolved. The art of client communication is as important as the attorney competency necessary to handle the case.

Solutions Oriented. Our clients want solutions. They want us to figure out how to strategically handle their matter from beginning to end, not a list of roadblocks. Figuring out solutions to tough problems is why our clients love us.

Required Experience: 3-15 years of litigation experience. Real estate litigation is a plus.
