We’re building a better law firm experience for attorneys and clients.

As a remote law firm, Scale is designed from the ground up to give attorneys greater control over their careers – offering autonomy in location, scheduling, and client engagement.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here is what our attorneys highlight when asked why they choose to practice at Scale.

Quality

The quality of the team is the #1 reason our attorneys work here. With thousands of applications in a few short years, we’ve been selective about who joins.

Efficiency

Our tech-first, efficient platform lets attorneys take home the majority of the value they create, which is high on the list of why our attorneys join the firm.

Collaboration

Our remote firm is designed to support meaningful collaboration. Most of our remote attorneys regularly work in teams of four or more and connect nationwide.

Fulfillment

We ask our attorneys to give us a regular NPS score (does your firm know what that is?), and we consistently rank “excellent,” the highest category.‍

Success On Your Terms

Own The Value You Create

Traditional firm fees are mostly waste: costs and profit that do not benefit the average client or attorney. We’ve turned that model on its head, and pass through the majority of the fees collected to the attorneys doing the work. That simple but fundamental switch reflects a completely different way of doing things.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our mission is to build a better law firm experience for both attorneys and clients.

    We believe that a more efficient economic model, without expensive real estate and equity layers, provides a better client experience and empowers attorneys to keep more of the value they create. That’s why our firm is built on a fully-remote work platform with the best leadership and staff teams.

    We believe that the best attorneys want to collaborate with a community of other high caliber professionals. That’s why we hire only the best lawyers from the thousands of applicants to the firm each year.

    We believe that inflexible billable hourly requirements do not always serve clients’ interests and can create an unhealthy environment for practicing lawyers. That’s why as a Scale attorney you define success on your own terms and can set your own hours targets, work schedules and rates.
