Attorney

At any given time 16 million Americans are experiencing a crisis that requires urgent help from our legal system or government. The right assistance could transform their lives. But today most never get it.

Atticus makes it easy for any sick or injured person in crisis to get the life-changing aid they deserve. In the last six years we’ve become the leading platform connecting people with disabilities to government benefits. We also help victims of accidents misconduct and violence get compensation from insurance.

So far we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people access over $10B in life-changing aid —and earned over 17000+ five-star reviews. And we’re just getting started.

We've raised more than $100 million from top VC firms like Fika Forerunner GV (Google Ventures) and True Ventures with ambitions to create a category defining business assisting needy Americans. (We closed our Series C round in April 2025 so we're well-funded for the foreseeable future.) In 2025 our team grew from 151 to 210 and we will grow again in 2026.

We hire smart lawyers and set them loose on hard problems — most of which have nothing to do with traditional legal practice.

This job mixes responsibilities in any good lawyer’s comfort zone (managing and coordinating clients and cases; conducting thoughtful legal analysis; advocating for your informed perspective) with those unique to being an operator in a fast-growing tech company (user research product development venture finance). 

In a typical week you might do any of the following:

• Develop the conceptual framework we’ll use to match clients to the best law firm in our network available (for their case geography client and firm preferences etc.) and work with the data science team to turn it into a reality.

• Interview 20 partner law firms to prioritize the next set of features we’ll build then partner with Design and Product to craft a formal roadmap and mock up wireframes for our next product launch.

• Partner with marketing to scope and execute a project to collect client testimonials — develop the client profile select the right clients draft a client pitch and interview our clients.

Over the last three years we’ve attracted lawyers from firms Cravath Wachtell Munger Tolles Hueston Hennigan Boies Schiller and Gunderson Dettmer — and schools like Stanford Harvard and Yale. Most have been promoted once or twice already and play critical roles across all functions.

This role is a unique opportunity to do meaningful social impact work as an attorney in a rapidly scaling startup where we put a premium on work-life balance. Your path from here could include growing as a leader at Atticus or transitioning further into tech/business as a founder or executive.

Required:

• You excelled at a top law firm or non-profit but you’re now looking to pivot away from traditional legal practice.

• You are a resourceful team player ready to dive into a scrappy startup environment where you will learn quickly and get your hands dirty.

• You have a demonstrated commitment to doing good and helping people.

• You have a degree from a top law school where you demonstrated strong academic performance.

• You are admitted to the bar in any state.

Bonus / Nice-to-Have:

• You have several years of meaningful work experience prior to attending law school especially in client service or business environments.

• You have experience at a startup or other fast-paced agile environment. 

We are strongly committed to building a diverse team. If you’re from a background that’s underrepresented in tech we’d love to meet you.

This is a rare opportunity to join a startup that has strong traction (substantial funding well-respected backers tremendous growth and many happy customers) but is still small enough that you can have a huge impact and play a role in shaping our culture.

We’re a certified B Corporation tackling a critical social problem. Our mission to help people in need drives everything we do and your work here will touch many lives.

We offer competitive pay — including equity — and generous benefits:

• Medical and dental insurance with 100% of employee premiums covered

• 15 vacation days & ~20 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at end-of-year)

• Free membership to OneMedical

• $600/year reimbursable stipend for internet service

• $1000 reimbursable stipend for education and training outside of work

• Up to $1200/year student loan repayment assistance

• 401(k) and optional HSA/FSA

• Humble thoughtful smart fun colleagues

We anticipate the base salary band for this role will be between $120000 and $150000 in addition to equity and benefits. The salary at offer will be determined by a number of factors such as candidate’s experience knowledge skills and abilities as well as internal equity among our team.

This job is fully remote and we’re committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. Work remotely and travel to LA (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues – usually quarterly plus offsites. We care a lot about building a great culture and we think some interactions need to happen in person so we put a lot of thought into retreats offsites and other ways to gather.
