Description:
Are you a Litigator who loves the law, but hates the "Grind"?At Chock Barhoum, we've traded the traditional burnout model for a tech-forward, people-first approach. We are a highly-rated defense firm handling diverse matters across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, but we do things differently.
We don't just "allow" work-life balance; we engineer it. We've replaced rigid silos with a collaborative ecosystem where attorneys and legal staff truly enjoy working together. If you're looking for a firm where your colleagues have your back and your personal time is protected, you've found it.
Why Chock Barhoum?
- A Culture of "We": No legal islands here. We utilize a team approach where experienced attorneys, paralegals, and assistants collaborate daily. You'll join a group that celebrates wins together and supports one another through the challenges.
- True Hybrid Flexibility: We trust your professional judgment. You have the autonomy to engineer your own schedule - integrating school runs, fitness, or errands - around your case milestones. Whether in our Portland office or your home office, our cloud-based infrastructure keeps you connected.
- Modern Tools, Less "Busy Work": We leverage cutting-edge legal tech to streamline discovery and drafting. We invest in these tools so you can focus on high-level strategy rather than administrative friction.
- Complex Work, Relaxed Vibe: Handle high-stakes state and federal cases in an informal environment that treats you like a grown-up.
What You'll Do:
- Managed Case Advocacy: Own your case files from inception through resolution, supported by a dedicated team and senior mentorship that values your input.
- Collaborative Strategy: Participate in "roundtable" case analysis where our collective intelligence is used to solve complex legal puzzles.
- Innovate & Advocate: Handle motion practice, depositions, and court appearances while utilizing modern tools to maximize your impact and efficiency.
- Cultural Contribution: Bring your unique energy to the team, helping us maintain a supportive workspace where we share insights, solve problems together, and actually enjoy the workday.
What you bring:
- Experience: At least 2+ years of experience in civil litigation defense. You've mastered the fundamentals and are ready for a smarter, more sustainable way to practice.
- Licensure: Active license in Oregon and/or Washington (Idaho is a major plus).
- A "No-Silo" Mindset: You believe the best results come from collaboration. You enjoy being part of a team and are eager to work alongside people who value your contribution.
- Tech Literacy: You're comfortable with (or eager to learn) paperless workflows and advanced practice management software.
