Practice Law on Terms That Fit Your Life

The Opportunity

Warr Legal is seeking an experienced, Pennsylvania-licensed attorney in the Pittsburgh area to join the firm as Of Counsel. This is a remote, part-time relationship with flexible hours, ideal for an established attorney seeking a better balance between professional and personal commitments while continuing to perform meaningful legal work. The successful candidate will handle matters generated by Warr Legal and will also have the opportunity to develop and bring clients into the firm.

We are particularly interested in attorneys with experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Business Law: Franchisee representation, business formation, contracts, corporate governance, commercial transactions, and ongoing general business counseling.
• SBA and Commercial Lending: SBA 7(a) and 504 loan transactions, including loan document review, closing documentation, entity and ownership structuring, business acquisitions financed with SBA loans, and related due diligence.
• Civil and Commercial Litigation: Contract disputes, business litigation, creditors’ rights, collections, and related matters.
• Real Estate: Residential and commercial transactions, commercial leases, title matters, property disputes, and real estate litigation.

Candidates need not have extensive experience in every area. Substantial experience in one or two, with an interest in expanding their practice, is welcome.

Responsibilities

• Independently manage assigned client matters from intake through resolution.
• Provide responsive, practical, and professional legal representation.
• Draft and review contracts, pleadings, agreements, and other legal documents.
• Represent clients in negotiations, transactions, and court proceedings as appropriate.
• Work with other Warr Legal attorneys on multijurisdictional and interdisciplinary matters.
• Participate in client development and referral opportunities.

Qualifications

• Active Pennsylvania law license in good standing.
• Minimum of seven years of relevant legal experience preferred.
• Experience with SBA 7(a) or 504 loan transactions, on behalf of borrowers or lenders, is a strong plus.
• Strong legal writing, analytical, and client communication skills.
• Ability to manage cases independently and meet deadlines.
• Located in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, with availability for occasional in-person client meetings or court appearances.
• Comfortable working remotely and using cloud-based practice management technology.

Compensation and Flexibility

Compensation is a share of collected legal fees, ranging from 40% to 50% on matters the attorney handles, plus origination credit on matters the attorney brings to the firm that other Warr Legal attorneys handle. Payment is made monthly, with no salary or draw.

The relationship also offers:

• Flexible scheduling: Part-time hours set by the attorney, based on availability and client needs.
• Remote work: No regular office attendance requirement.
• Manageable workload: Typically 10 to 20 collected billable hours per month, measured quarterly, with the opportunity to take on more.
• Firm support: Access to firm infrastructure, practice management technology, administrative support, and marketing.
• Growth: Opportunities to build a practice within a growing multijurisdictional firm.

This is an independent-contractor Of Counsel relationship, not employment. Terms are set out in the firm’s written Of Counsel Agreement and are subject to applicable professional-responsibility requirements.
