JOB OVERVIEW

Job Title: Remote Lawyer for U.S. Family Law Firm (Licensed Filipino Lawyer)
Job Type: [Full-time / Part-time], [number] hours per week
Pay Range: [$8 to $14 per hour, depending on experience]
Time Zone / Hours: [9:00 AM to 5:00 PM] Central Time (U.S.)

We are a busy U.S.-based family law firm seeking a licensed Filipino lawyer to support our attorneys with substantive legal work. This is a remote, behind-the-scenes legal support role focused on research, drafting, and case preparation. It is best suited for a strong legal writer who is highly detail-oriented and able to manage multiple matters and competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
About This Role
This is a legal support position, not a U.S. attorney role. You will not practice U.S. law, give legal advice to clients, or appear in court. You will work behind the scenes supporting our U.S.-licensed attorneys. Your legal training is essential to this work, which is why we require a licensed lawyer.
What You'll Do

Conduct legal research on U.S. and state-specific family law issues using resources we provide
Draft pleadings, motions, discovery requests and responses, declarations, and correspondence for attorney review
Review and summarize case documents, financial records, and discovery materials
Prepare case timelines, summaries, and memos
Help build and maintain document templates and internal legal workflows
Communicate with our attorneys to refine work product

Requirements (Mandatory, No Exceptions)
Applicants must meet ALL of the following. Do not apply if you do not meet every one of them.

Law degree and current admission to the Philippine Bar in good standing
Minimum 3 years of experience in legal practice, legal drafting, or legal research
Demonstrated legal writing experience, with samples you can share
Near-native written English. Your writing will be tested before hire
Clear American accent and strong spoken English
Prior experience supporting a U.S. law firm or doing U.S.-based legal work
Able to commit to a consistent full-time schedule with the required U.S. hours overlap
Seeking a long-term role, not short-term or freelance gap work
Able to complete a paid test project as part of the hiring process

Applicants who do not meet these requirements will not be considered.
Technical Requirements

Computer with at least 16GB RAM, able to run Microsoft Office and cloud-based legal practice management software smoothly
Stable internet connection with a minimum 50 Mbps download speed
Backup internet access (mobile data or a second connection) in case of outages
USB headset with a clear microphone
Working webcam for video calls
Backup power source (UPS or equivalent) to handle short outages
Quiet, distraction-free home office

Strongly Preferred

Family law experience specifically
Experience with legal practice management software such as Lawmatics, MyCase, or Clio
Experience with Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel)

How to Apply
Follow every step. Applications that do not follow these instructions will not be read.

Include the codeword "milo47" in your email subject line or in the first sentence of your application
Send a single Google Drive link with all of your application materials, with sharing set to "Anyone with the link can view." We will not chase you for access
Your Google Drive folder must include:

Your updated resume
Samples of your legal work (redacted briefs, motions, or memos)
A 1 to 2 minute video introducing yourself, demonstrating your spoken English, and explaining why you believe you are qualified for this role

In your reply, include a short paragraph (3 to 5 sentences) describing your legal background, years of experience, and any U.S. or family law experience
