About The Position

Civil Litigation Defense Attorney: Redefining Litigation Through Technology & Teamwork (Work-Life Balance Included) Are you an experienced litigator who excels in the courtroom but is frustrated by outdated firm "silos" and manual processes? At Chock Barhoum, we’ve traded the traditional burnout model for a tech-forward, team-centric approach. We are a highly-rated defense firm handling a variety of matters across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. We don't just "allow" work-life balance; we engineer it through smarter systems and collaborative support. We’ve replaced the rigid, high-pressure atmosphere of typical firms for a supportive, flexible, and team-oriented environment. We leverage cutting-edge legal tech to streamline discovery, research and drafting. We invest in both people and tools so our attorneys can focus on high-level strategy rather than administrative "busy work".
