Summary

Part-Time Remote Attorney – Contracts & Light Litigation (Ongoing) I am seeking an experienced attorney (semi-retired, of counsel, or independently practicing) for ongoing, low-volume legal support on a flexible, remote basis. This is not a high-pressure or high-volume role. It is intended to be a consistent, straightforward working relationship with a reliable, practical attorney who can provide sound judgment when needed. Scope of Work: * Review and redline contracts and agreements (leases, commercial agreements, general business documents) * Provide clear, practical comments and guidance * Occasional small claims and light litigation support, including: * strategy input * reviewing or assisting with filings * general direction on handling disputes * Periodic general legal input as situations arise Nature of Engagement: * Approximately 2.5 hours per month - any extra to be billed at $150 per hour. * Work is intermittent (some weeks no work, some weeks a few hours) * Fully remote, flexible schedule * No heavy caseload, no ongoing court obligations required * Long-term relationship preferred Compensation: * $250/month minimum retainer (paid regardless of usage) * Typically $$600 - 800/month total depending on workload The intent is to create a fair, predictable arrangement that works well for both sides — providing steady income without requiring full-time commitment. Ideal Candidate: * 10+ years legal experience * Strong background in contracts and general commercial matters * Comfortable with light litigation and dispute strategy * Practical, commercially minded (not overly academic) * Able to work independently and provide clear, concise input * Responsive and easy to communicate with Florida experience or familiarity is preferred, but not strictly required. Approach: I am looking for someone who is balanced — capable of being thoughtful and measured on contracts, but also confident and assertive when required in a dispute setting. At times, a firm, “bulldog” approach is appropriate, and I value someone who can take that stance when needed while remaining professional and controlled. This is not a role for someone seeking high volume or complexity. It is better suited to someone who: * enjoys flexible, low-stress work * prefers a consistent, manageable workload * values a straightforward working relationship Next Steps: If interested, please respond with: * brief background and experience * confirmation of current license status * relevant areas of practice * general availability I am looking to move quickly and establish a long-term working relationship with the right person.
