Small but busy and progressive law firm seeks a creative, detail-oriented, tech-savvy, new lawyer.

The job will be about 65% legal, 25% marketing, and 10% admin.
We work with local and international clients and are always trying out new marketing ideas and expanding into new markets. We are friendly attorneys who care about our clients and producing superior work product.
The attorney can work remotely, but must meet with owner 1-2 times per week at our office in Beverly Hills. We practice business, employment, and immigration law.
