INTRODUCING LawHQ

LawHQ is a law firm unlike any other. And we LOVE what we do—tracking down and suing telephone spammers.

How does LawHQ hunt down these spammers? We’ve developed and invested substantially into our own proprietary technology that enables us to track down virtually every telephone spammer. We have created an iOS and Android app that allows users—right from their phones—to swipe left to report calls, text messages, and voicemails as spam. The reported spam is relayed to a custom-built back office for review by our investigators, paralegals, and attorneys. Thousands of users report spam through our app, and LawHQ already knows the spammers behind much of the reported SMS spam.

Simply put, with thousands of potential clients, and hundreds of known spammers/potential defendants, LawHQ already enjoys a luxury to which most firms can only aspire: the ability to be highly-selective in pursuing our largest Class Actions, while employing alternative strategies to achieve meaningful results for countless other clients.

As we pursue these cases, and initiate many more, we expect to reduce telephone spam substantially in the coming years. We have the tools and expertise to do that, but need talented and driven attorneys to join the team in handling our ever-growing caseload.

Founded in 2019, our firm has blossomed without losing its strong sense of purpose and cohesion. And we are well-positioned for greater expansion; over the next 12-18 months, we anticipate significant growth across our divisions. Above all else, however, we remain fiercely committed to our core mission of superlative client service delivered by dedicated and passionate advocates.

Whom does LawHQ hire? We are building an A+ team. At LawHQ, this is no mere platitude: our attorneys embrace the opportunity to take primary responsibility for lawsuits involving tens of millions of dollars in damages. We expect a high quality and high quantity of work product; our attorneys typically work at least 40 hours per week. You should expect an unusually-broad range of professional opportunities early and often, and colleagues who genuinely care about your happiness, growth, and success.

We are looking for people who are driven to learn and to innovate; people who aim to excel in Class Actions, mass actions, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act; people who understand the value of teamwork and the importance of communication.

Our goal is to work with attorneys who aspire to remain with LawHQ for the mid- to long-term, no less than five to ten years.

OVERVIEW OF WORKING CONDITIONS

This is a fully-remote position (typically from a person’s own appropriately designated office space, whether at home or elsewhere), but may require occasional travel to court or to LawHQ's yearly company retreat.

While our attorneys enjoy the freedom to work flexible hours and take time off as needed, deadlines must be met, and the demands of the job must be prioritized and accomplished timely and at a high standard. The successful candidate also will be expected to attend regular company-wide and legal team meetings, and other periodic meetings.

The successful candidate will be expected to work well independently, as well as in a team setting. The successful candidate will report to one or more senior attorneys, and will work with at least one paralegal.

• Taking consumer-side litigation from initial vetting to trial or class-wide resolution
