Job description
Nevada Of Counsel Attorney — Civil Litigation and Probate
Location: Nevada; Las Vegas or Reno preferred
Role Type: Of Counsel / Flexible Part-Time Relationship
Practice Areas: Civil Litigation, Probate, Guardianship, Estate Administration, and Related Disputes
Compensation: Hourly rate TBD
Firm: Baker Law Group
About the Opportunity
Baker Law Group is seeking an experienced Nevada Of Counsel Attorney to support our growing Nevada practice. The ideal candidate will have experience in civil litigation, probate, or both and will be available to handle referred matters and attend Nevada court proceedings when necessary.
This is a flexible, nonemployee opportunity for an attorney who may have an existing solo practice, small-firm affiliation, or other professional commitments and is interested in receiving additional work from Baker Law Group.
Local presence is important. Although Baker Law Group has attorneys licensed in Nevada, we are seeking someone who can provide dependable in-state coverage, manage assigned matters, and appear personally when a Nevada court requires or benefits from local attendance.
What You’ll Do
Responsibilities may include:
Handle Nevada civil litigation and probate matters referred by Baker Law Group
Evaluate potential matters and provide recommendations regarding strategy, scope, and case value
Manage assigned cases from initial assessment through resolution
Draft and review pleadings, motions, discovery, correspondence, and settlement documents
Conduct and defend depositions
Represent clients at hearings, conferences, mediations, and trials
Provide local court coverage for routine and substantive proceedings
Handle probate administration and estate-related court matters
Assist with guardianship and other protective proceedings
Support contested probate and fiduciary disputes
Advise clients regarding Nevada procedures, deadlines, risks, and potential outcomes
Maintain regular client communication regarding the status and cost of their matters
Coordinate with Baker Law Group attorneys, paralegals, and administrative staff
Enter time promptly and comply with the firm’s billing and client-management procedures
Help monitor client retainers and account status
Types of Matters
The attorney may assist with matters involving:
Business and contract disputes
Real estate and property litigation
Construction-related disputes
Partnership or ownership conflicts
Pre-litigation demands and negotiations
Will and trust disputes
Fiduciary litigation
Guardianship proceedings
Estate-related property or business issues
Other Nevada matters within the attorney’s experience
Candidates do not need to practice in every listed area. We are looking for a capable, versatile attorney who can provide reliable Nevada representation and communicate openly about which matters fall within their experience.
What We’re Looking For
Strong candidates will have:
Active Nevada bar admission in good standing
Meaningful civil litigation and/or probate experience
Familiarity with Nevada state court procedures
The ability to attend in-person proceedings in Nevada when needed
Experience independently managing matters and deadlines
Strong legal drafting, research, negotiation, and advocacy skills
Courtroom, deposition, hearing, or mediation experience
Practical judgment and the ability to assess unfamiliar matters
Strong client-service and communication skills
Comfort discussing litigation strategy, fees, and case value with clients
Responsiveness to clients and internal firm contacts
The ability to work collaboratively within an of counsel structure
A professional, dependable, and low-ego working style
Work and Compensation Structure
This is an of counsel relationship, not a guaranteed-hours or traditional employee position. The volume of work will depend on firm needs, client demand, and the attorney’s availability.
Compensation is based on an hourly rate. Baker Law Group provides marketing, client-intake, administrative, billing, and operational support.
The attorney will be expected to:
Enter time accurately and promptly
Review invoices and client account status through the firm’s systems
Communicate with clients when retainers need to be replenished
Pause work when required if a client’s account is not current
Follow Baker Law Group’s client-service, billing, and matter-management expectations
Maintain close communication with the supervising attorney or practice-group leader
Why Partner with Baker Law Group?
This opportunity provides:
Access to referred Nevada matters
Flexible case volume based on availability
Administrative and billing infrastructure
Marketing and intake support
Collaboration with attorneys across several jurisdictions and practice areas
The opportunity to help expand Baker Law Group’s Nevada presence
Potential for the relationship to grow as client demand increases
