Contract Attorney Class Action Litigation

Ncmahq, Rockville, MD, United States


The Opportunity
We are seeking a talented and motivated Contract Attorney to join our class action practice on a flexible, part-time basis. You will work directly with our trial attorneys on active class action cases, contributing to all phases of litigation with a particular focus on discovery management and legal research and writing.

This is the kind of work that keeps a lawyer sharp — nuanced legal questions, voluminous records that require a careful eye, and briefs that need to be both analytically sound and compellingly written.

What You’ll Do

Review, analyze, and organize discovery materials, including documents, deposition transcripts, and other case records

Conduct thorough legal research on substantive and procedural issues arising in complex class action litigation

Draft and edit briefs, motions, memoranda, and other legal filings

Collaborate with lead attorneys to develop case strategy and identify key legal arguments

Help maintain organized, well-documented case files and research memos

The Details
Engagement

Independent contractor

Hours

20–40 hours per week, flexible scheduling

Location

Fully remote or hybrid (Montana preferred but not required)

Compensation

$60-$75/hour DOE

Why This Role
The cases on our docket aren’t run-of-the-mill. They are class actions with real stakes for real people — the kind of litigation that makes a difference. If you are a licensed attorney who thrives on substantive legal work, values flexibility, and wants to contribute to important public interest litigation without the demands of a traditional full‑time associate role, this position is worth a serious look.

Please send a resume and a writing sample (brief, motion, or memo preferred) to:
