Entry-level attorney job in Bay Area

Small but fast growing law firm in Mountain View California. We now represent more than 6,000 clients, many of which are startups and small businesses across the United States. We want to ensure that we regularly communicate with each of our clients, and that we have a process in place to make sure that our existing clients are happy with our services and have an attorney with whom they can regularly speak.

As such, we are looking for three Client Relations Attorneys to join our growing team. You must have excellent client relations/customer service skills, and must be able to put the needs of our clients first. You must be licensed to practice law in at least one U.S. state, and must be courtious and diligent.

Attorney job overseeing outsourced legal work

Wow, you can't make this stuff up. As the reader who submitted this lead notes: "This is the direct result of the ABA and its Big Firm interests allowing/encouraging outsourcing - ever decreasing jobs for American-trained and indebted attorneys and crap work from overseas from folks who have no clue what they're doing. Great job ABA! KUDOS!"

Major outsourcing company seeks JD or attorney in the States to review work product of attorneys overseas. Requires QC or second-level-review experience.

This is a 100% work-from-home project requiring 40 to 50 hours per week for approximately 6 weeks. This project is for a Fortune 500 client and there will likely be regular telecommuting projects in the future. Also, opportunity to join this fast-growing outsourcing company on a permanent basis.

Due to the particulars of this project, the pay is below market at $22/hour. But the position does offer the convenience of working from home.
