- A passion for protecting clients and the public from harm caused by internet bad actors
- An interest in focusing on internet fraud and brand protection cases and investigations
- An ability to work on both high volume programmatic legal matters, and high-impact strategic complex litigation
- Ability to work remotely
- Outstanding attention to detail
- Excellent research and writing abilities
- Client-centric service mindset
- Ability to work full time for an average of 40 hours per week is preferred. Subject to deadlines and certain time constraints, the attorney could largely set their own "office hours".

Compensation will be paid on an hourly basis, commensurate with experience and skill level (see below). Due to the structure of the DWTSurge program, DWTSurge employees are not eligible for the firm's pro bono, DEI, and other activities or opportunities outside of the above stated scope of work.
