This is a writing-intensive role for an attorney who prefers substantive briefing over hearings, depositions, court appearances, or client-facing litigation.

Associates are trained to work with Brief Master™, our proprietary AI-assisted briefing system developed in-house and refined through thousands of federal briefs. We also train associates in the proper use of Anthropic's Claude. These tools support legal analysis, record review, issue development, and draft refinement. They do not replace attorney judgment.

Strong analytical ability and attention to detail;
Ability to manage a substantial writing-focused caseload;
Willingness to learn federal Social Security disability law;
Interest in working in an AI-native legal environment.
