We’re building a better law firm experience for attorneys and clients.
As a remote law firm offering autonomy and fully remote attorney jobs, Scale is designed from the ground up to give attorneys greater control over their careers – offering freedom 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, including some award-winning attorneys, 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 fully remote firm is designed to support meaningful collaboration and autonomy in schedule and location. 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.


Built Around The Best Talent
We have deep field experience and come from the world’s best law firms, schools, companies, and government institutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s different about Scale?
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 law firm is built on a fully-remote work platform offering remote attorney jobs with the best leadership and staff teams.
We believe the best law firms – for women and all attorneys – attract professionals who want to collaborate within a community of high-caliber peers. 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.
What services and tools does Scale provide to attorneys?
Attorneys who join Scale receive core communication and file storage tools, including G Suite (email, calendar, and drive) and Slack (our community workspace).
They are supported by a dedicated team, including their Practice Group Leader and firm management, an integration and community-focused Talent Team, a back-office team handling billing, collections, and client intake, and a paralegal team with expertise across all practice groups.

How are Scale attorneys compensated?

Scale associates and paralegals are salaried employees whose rates are set by the firm.
How does the Practice Group structure work?
Scale is organized around four core Practice Areas:
- Corporate & Securities

- General Counsel Services (GCS)
Scale’s Practice Group Leaders are experts in their fields, and serve the critical role of coordinating workflow and collaboration within and between practice areas and teams. Collaboration and teamwork are at the heart of our firm structure and philosophy.
What sets the Scale community apart?
We’re building a better law firm experience for clients and attorneys. Scale is designed to be a collaborative and supportive law firm. Our economic model, practice group structure, community events, partner and firmwide retreats, and core values all contribute to a firm committed to a culture of service–to each other, to our clients, and in our communities.
We succeed when our lawyers and staff work together, and we couldn’t be more proud of the firm we are building. More than 50% of the work at Scale is shared among attorneys, and most Scale attorneys report regularly working with at least 3-4 other colleagues on a day-to-day basis. You can find more information about the Scale community on our About Us page.
