The Role

We are seeking a Founding Litigation Attorney licensed in Massachusetts to serve as the firm’s lead litigator and day-to-day operator. This role is ideal for a trial-ready litigator looking for a managing partner–level opportunity without a buy-in.

You will:

• Lead franchise and commercial litigation (first-chair trials in MA; supervise other jurisdictions via local counsel).
• Oversee drafting, motions, discovery, and trial prep (with full paralegal + AI-driven support).
• Run the firm’s litigation practice with autonomy and strategic freedom.
• Help shape and scale a law firm designed to become the largest and most innovative in the world.

Compensation & Upside

• Base Salary: $175,000–$200,000.
• Profit Share: 10% of annual firm EBITDA (paid as a performance bonus).
• Support: Full AI legal tech stack, global paralegal team, and steady business pipeline from Everest Franchise Development.

This model allows you to earn BigLaw partner money without a buy-in, while building a firm from the ground up.

Qualifications

• Licensed to practice law in Massachusetts.
• 7+ years of litigation experience; franchise, commercial, or employment law background preferred.
• First-chair trial experience (state or federal).
• Entrepreneurial mindset — ready to lead and grow a lean, high-leverage practice.
• Interest in using technology and remote legal support to practice more efficiently.

Why Join Everest?

• No 2,500-hour grind.
• Real profit participation and upside.
• Cutting-edge legal model: AI + global support + flat-fee/retainer innovation.
• Backed by an ecosystem of franchisors, construction, CRE, and insurance businesses — meaning steady deal flow.
• Chance to help redefine what a law firm looks like in the 21st century.
