Corporate Associate Attorney

Corporate Associate Attorney

Scale LLP, a national, fully distributed law firm, is inviting experienced attorneys to join its growing national practice. We are a firm built for high-performing attorneys who want the freedom to shape and grow their practices without the bureaucracy and overhead of traditional Big Law.

Who We Are

Founded by former tech GCs, Scale was created to rethink the traditional law firm model - removing inefficiency and outdated economics while preserving what matters most: exceptional legal work, sophisticated clients, and professional credibility. Our mission? Build the best remote law firm in the country. Scale's attorneys work for a variety of clients - from emerging ventures to mature enterprises and public companies - across Corporate, Intellectual Property, and Litigation practice groups.

Who We're Seeking

We are looking for a Corporate Associate based in the United States to support our Corporate & Securities Group.
