Description

Civil Litigation Defense Attorney: Redefining Litigation Through Technology & Teamwork (Work-Life Balance Included) Are you an experienced litigator who excels in the courtroom but is frustrated by outdated firm "silos" and manual processes? At Chock Barhoum, we’ve traded the traditional burnout model for a tech-forward, team-centric approach. We are a highly-rated defense firm handling a variety of matters across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. We don't just "allow" work-life balance; we engineer it through smarter systems and collaborative support. We’ve replaced the rigid, high-pressure atmosphere of typical firms for a supportive, flexible, and team-oriented environment. We leverage cutting-edge legal tech to streamline discovery, research and drafting. We invest in both people and tools so our attorneys can focus on high-level strategy rather than administrative "busy work". Why Chock Barhoum? * True Work-Life Balance: We don’t just say it; we live it. We prioritize efficiency over "face time." Whether you’re working from home or in our Portland office, our cloud-based infrastructure ensures you have everything you need to win. * Dynamic Hybrid Flexibility: We trust your judgment. You have the full autonomy to engineer your own schedule, integrating personal life needs—whether it’s school runs, fitness or errands—around your case milestones. As long as the work is exceptional and the deadlines are met, we support you working when and where you are most effective. * A Culture of "We": No silos here. We utilize a team approach where experienced attorneys, paralegals, and assistants collaborate to win. * Complex Work, Relaxed Vibe: Handle high-stakes state and federal cases in a relaxed, informal environment. What You’ll Do * Lead Strategic Defense: Manage cases from inception through resolution, utilizing a team approach that values your expertise. * Strategize: Conduct deep legal research and analysis to dismantle complex issues. * Innovate & Advocate: Handle motion practice, depositions, and court appearances while utilizing modern tools to maximize your impact. * Collaborative Strategy: Participate in "roundtable" case analysis where the collective intelligence of the firm is used to dismantle complex legal issues. * System Optimization: Contribute to our tech-forward culture by adopting (and suggesting) new ways to modernize the practice of law. What You Bring to the Stage * Experience: At least 5+ years of experience in civil litigation defense. You’ve mastered the fundamentals and are ready for a smarter way to practice. * Licensure: Active license in Oregon and/or Washington (Idaho and multi-state licensure is a significant bonus). * Tech Literacy: You are comfortable with (or eager to learn) advanced practice management software, paperless workflows, and virtual advocacy tools. * A "No-Silo" Mindset: You believe that the best results come from collaboration, not competition between colleagues. You thrive when working with others and aren't afraid to learn new tools or processes. Why is Chock Barhoum the last firm you will ever join? We’ve built a firm where attorneys can do the best work of their careers without sacrificing their personal lives. We handle high-stakes state and federal cases in a relaxed, informal environment that treats you like a professional. Ready to Upgrade Your Practice?
