Job Description

Position Overview

Our firm is seeking a licensed Tennessee attorney to serve in an Of Counsel capacity. This is a part-time, low-volume engagement designed for an experienced practitioner who is looking to supplement an existing practice with a flexible, straightforward affiliation.

The role involves minimal day-to-day involvement and is structured to require only light, as-needed participation. Most matters will be handled by our core legal team; the Of Counsel attorney will primarily serve as our Tennessee-licensed counsel of record and advisor on Tennessee-specific issues as they arise.


Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as the firm's Tennessee-licensed attorney of record on select matters involving Tennessee law or Tennessee-based clients.
  • Provide occasional consultation on Tennessee state law, local rules, and procedural questions as they arise.
  • Review filings, correspondence, or documents that require signature or oversight by Tennessee-licensed counsel.
  • Maintain good standing with the State Bar of Tennessee throughout the engagement.
  • Communicate promptly with the firm on any time-sensitive Tennessee-related matters.


Qualifications

  • Active license to practice law in the State of Tennessee, in good standing with the State Bar of Tennessee.
  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an ABA-accredited law school.
  • Minimum of 3–5 years of legal practice experience (preferred but flexible).
  • Current malpractice insurance coverage (or willingness to obtain).
  • Strong communication skills and reliable responsiveness.
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote, collaborative arrangement.


Engagement Details

  • Position Type: Of Counsel – independent contractor / affiliation basis.
  • Time Commitment: Minimal and as-needed; ideal for attorneys with an existing practice.
  • Location: Remote
  • Term: Ongoing, with a written Of Counsel agreement consistent with Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct.


Why This Role

This is a low-effort, high-flexibility role well suited to an Tennessee attorney who wants a stable supplemental affiliation without taking on a full caseload. You will work with an established, professional team, and the arrangement is designed to be simple, respectful of your time, and easy to maintain alongside your existing practice.
