Business Litigation Attorney (Remote) - LATAM

About the role

HireHawk is recruiting on behalf of a U.S.-based law firm that is expanding its business law practice and needs an experienced attorney to provide substantive legal judgment, not just paralegal support. The role is full-time and remote, Monday through Friday, either 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM or 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Arizona time. You will work directly with the firm's managing attorney, covering both plaintiff-side and defense-side commercial litigation, with some transactional and contractual assignments.

Key responsibilities

• Take ownership of assigned U.S. business litigation matters, moving them from analysis through research, drafting and recommended next steps.
• Research federal and state statutes, case law, procedural rules and precedent using Westlaw.
• Analyze contractual disputes, business conflicts, commercial claims and defenses.
• Draft complaints, motions, pleadings, legal memoranda and other substantive litigation documents from start to finish.
• Support discovery, motion practice, case development and litigation strategy, and draft and review contracts and business documents.
• Organize casework independently and escalate strategic or client-sensitive decisions to the managing attorney.

Required profile

• Law degree and current attorney licensure in your local jurisdiction.
• Prior hands-on experience supporting U.S. law firms on business litigation, contractual disputes or related commercial matters.
• Strong working knowledge of the U.S. legal system, including civil procedure and federal and state court litigation.
• Demonstrated experience independently drafting motions, pleadings and legal memoranda.
• Excellent written and spoken English, able to work remotely with U.S.-based attorneys.

Nice to have

• U.S. state bar admission.
• Experience on both plaintiff-side and defense-side disputes, and on both commercial litigation and transactional work.
• Direct prior experience with a U.S. law firm owner or managing attorney remotely.
