Prove It.
Then Build Something That Holds Up.
Alden Kinsley is a fully distributed litigation firm. We hire proven talent, wherever it lives, and we judge people by the work they can actually produce, not the titles on their resume.
We built a firm where the work speaks louder than the credential.
Dispute resolution is hard, ambiguous work. It rewards people who can think, not just people who can fill out a form. So we hire differently: we look for proven analytical talent, we ask candidates to demonstrate it, and we trust them to take the lead from anywhere in the country. If you do exceptional work and want it to matter, you'll fit here.
The People Who Thrive Here
Proven Judgment, Not Credentials
We hire for demonstrated ability. A title or a transcript tells us where you've been, not how you think. We want people who can read a complex situation, identify the real issue, and chart a defensible path forward.
Work Product That Holds Up
Sharp drafting, sound research, and clear reasoning are the currency here. Your work should reflect your own knowledge and analysis. AI is a force multiplier we expect you to wield, never a substitute for the thinking behind the page.
Built for Complexity
From M&A and commercial disputes across our practice areas, our people research deeply, draft motions and proposed orders, work fluently across court systems, and engage directly with counsel and opposing counsel.
Distributed by Design
Alden Kinsley is a fully distributed firm. Everyone works remotely, and we built it that way on purpose. We hire the best person for the work regardless of where they sit, and we trust them to take the lead.
Distributed. Demanding. Built on Trust.
Everyone here is remote, and that's a feature. It lets us hire the sharpest person for the work regardless of geography, and it puts the focus where it belongs: on the quality of the thinking and the strength of the work product.
Take the Lead
Our people don't wait to be handed a task list. You own matters end to end, anticipate what comes next, and move work forward without someone standing over your shoulder. Ownership is the baseline, not the exception.
Question Everything
We expect our people to push back, ask hard questions, and never accept an answer, an output, or a citation at face value. If something doesn't hold up, say so. Discernment isn't optional here.
Collaborate Across the Table
Disputes are worked on together. Attorneys and paralegals challenge each other's thinking and build stronger strategy because of it. The same rigor carries into how we work with clients, counsel, and opposing counsel.
Show Us How You Think.
We don't hire on résumés and claimed experience alone. Our process is built to surface proven ability. You'll demonstrate your skills on work that mirrors what we actually do, and we'll evaluate the judgment and reasoning behind it, produced with your own knowledge, not generated for you.
Introductory Conversation
We start with a real conversation about your experience, the matters you've actually worked, and how you approach problems. No gotchas. We want to understand how you think.
Demonstrate Your Skills
You complete a focused exercise that mirrors the work you'd do here, such as a short research and drafting task drawn from a realistic fact pattern. We're looking at your judgment and reasoning, produced with your own knowledge rather than generated for you.
Work Through It Together
You walk a member of the team through your work product. We discuss the calls you made, the alternatives you weighed, and how you'd handle the matter as it evolves. This is where proven talent shows.
Offer
When the work speaks for itself, we move quickly. We'll talk specifics on the arrangement and compensation directly.
We Pay for Talent.
Our model is simple: we compensate proven talent at the top of the market, and we tie pay to the work you actually produce. Compensation is experience-based, structured around the time you spend building real work product, and discussed openly and directly when we talk.
If you do exceptional work, we want you to be paid like it. The rest is a conversation, not a guessing game.
