This is a FULLY REMOTE position. There is no restriction on the location where you live or work from. For an introduction to what it's like to work at Kneupper & Covey as an attorney and more background on the firm, you can watch this video:

We are seeking an attorney who wants to use their law degree to help people, but get paid a livable salary to do it. Our firm specializes in complex consumer protection work. The bulk of our cases are class actions or mass arbitrations, but we handle a number of individual matters as well. The cases are complex - they range from RICO lawsuits targeting the “free trial scam” to mass arbitrations against online car sellers who won’t give people the titles to their cars.

We’re looking for talented people who are passionate about doing fulfilling, interesting work. At our firm you’ll get to help people who need it and change your clients’ lives for the better. A few examples of our smaller cases include lifting a five-year old judgment on a 90% interest loan by using phone metadata to prove the client wasn’t actually served, recovering money that was fraudulently removed from indigent clients’ bank accounts, or recovering on breach of warranty claims for clients who’ve spent entire summers without an air conditioner.

We do innovative investigative work, and we’ve built customized software to help us with our lawsuits. In addition to our docket of individual cases, we’ve pursued a number of complex class action cases involving allegations of fraud on the Internet or fraudulent advertising involving computer components.

We are an all remote firm, and the flexibility of our arbitration docket means almost all of our work is done via Zoom. We have good people and a relaxed environment. Our partners have worked in environments where attorneys thought it was okay to yell, scream or otherwise behave badly – we couldn’t stand it, and we don’t tolerate that here.

You’ll get to work on challenging cases with people who work hard to win and who care about their clients.

And you get to do good with your law degree. You’ll be helping real people, many of them whose lives have been ruined by the situation they’re in. Most of our clients live paycheck to paycheck, even if they’re middle class. They come to us with situations that have turned their lives upside down – for example, clients who can’t drive their car because a dealer won’t give them the title, which means they can’t go to work, which means they get evicted – which ruins their life.

We fix things for them. Finding meaning in our work is important to us, and working here means you’ll know you’re using your talents for something that matters.

We’re looking for someone with civil litigation experience who can take over cases and handle them with minimal supervision. We do not expect you to know everything; but you need to be able to: (i) know how to look up what you don’t know, (ii) know that you don’t know something and need to look, and (iii) be able and willing to ask someone else in the firm when you need help.

This person will be expected to handle discovery, briefing, arguing motions before courts and arbitrators, etc. You will also be involved in a team on larger, more complex cases.

This position is almost entirely remote. You will be expected to work from home most of the time. You will need your own working space at home (or some other location you supply) and a solid, fast, internet connection. You may need to make trips to go to court, visit clients, take depositions, etc. You would not need to visit an office unless it is related to a client meeting or deposition.

Your hours will generally be 9-5 Monday through Friday, but because the work is remote you will have some flexibility if you need to take time off during the week occasionally for personal reasons. The primary goal is for you to complete your work timely.

• High proficiency with computers and computer systems
• Ability to work remotely at home
• An outgoing personality. You need…
