Lyda Law Firm

Kansas City, Missouri
     (Fully Remote)

Remember why you went to law school?  We do, too!  We have been building a firm to help you preserve those ideals.

This job is for our virtual satellite office in Kansas City, Missouri.

Our mission is to increase access to high-quality legal services for small businesses, nonprofits, and moderate-income individuals, and our vision is to be a full-service firm for these groups.

Therefore, our areas of law are broad, and we welcome all expertise. 


Job Number:  01-260126-01:  Attorney 


Company Name:  Lyda Law Firm


We are a small law firm committed to increasing access to high-quality legal services for startups and small businesses. We are a Denver-based firm with offices in multiple states, and we are looking to expand our team.

Our firm is not for everyone; but for some, we are a unique fit. We compensate purely through revenue sharing, and our firm culture is different from a typical law firm. We are looking for someone entrepreneurial—we will help you develop business, but we expect our attorneys to take a proactive role in building their clientele.

Our model is working well for our current attorneys, and we are looking to add to our team.

We compensate attorneys purely on a revenue-sharing model, and you keep more of the money you earn. While many firms keep at least 2/3 of your billable fees, our revenue-sharing model inverts that proportion. You keep 60% of fees for cases you originate and service (30% for labor, 30% for origination), and you keep 50% of fees that come in through our legal insurance partners (we provide intake and other support for these legal insurance cases) and for clients who find us online. Please make sure you are comfortable with this model (all revenue sharing, no base salary) before applying.

Please note: while this position can be full or part-time, it is a W-2 position and is expected to be your exclusive law practice, not a side hustle or of-counsel type relationship.

- Possess good analytical skills and "bedside manner" when working with clients
- Develop a book of business

Benefits/Perks
- Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance (eligible after 60 days)

- Assistance with business development
- Payment as W-2 employee
- Great deal of autonomy, independence, and flexibility
- Great team with strong connections despite our multi-state presence
- Revenue sharing compensation allows you the freedom to decide how much to work and the ability to make passive income if you bring in enough business

Ideal Candidate
- Entrepreneurial attitude
- Can bring in business
- Litigation experience and/or willingness to take on litigation/pre-litigation matters
- Ability to work independently
- Enthusiasm about working in an untraditional law firm
- Commitment to ethics and civility in the practice of law
