**Legal Impact for Chickens seeks a Staff Attorney or Managing Attorney.**

<https://www.legalimpactforchickens.org/staff-attorney-or-managing-attorney>

Looking for our next litigator. Want to sue animal abusers?

Applications due October 7, 2024.

**About us:**

Legal Impact for Chickens (LIC) is a 501(c)(3) litigation nonprofit. We work
to protect farmed animals.

You may have seen our Costco shareholder derivative suit in The Washington
Post, Fox Business, or CNN Business—or even on TikTok. Or perhaps you saw LIC
recommended by Animal Charity Evaluators.

Now, we’re looking for our next hire—an entrepreneurial litigator to help
fight for animals!

**About you:**

• 2+ years of litigation experience (for staff attorney)

• 6+ years of litigation experience (for managing attorney)

• Licensed and in good standing with the state bar where you live

• Excellent analytical, writing, and verbal-communication skills

• Zealous, creative, enthusiastic litigator

• Passion for helping farmed animals

• Interest in entering a startup nonprofit on the ground floor, and helping to
build something

• Willing to do all types of nonprofit startup work, beyond just litigation

• Strong work ethic and initiative

• Kind to our fellow humans, and excited about creating a welcoming, inclusive
team

• Experience supervising staff, interns, contractors, or volunteers (for
managing attorney)

We encourage candidates with most of the above to apply; we do not expect all
candidates to fit this job description 100%.

**About the role:**

You will be an integral part of LIC. You’ll help shape our organization’s
future.

Your role will be a combination of (1) designing and pursuing creative impact
litigation for animals, and (2) helping with everything else we need to do, to
run this new nonprofit!

Since this is such a small organization, you’ll wear many hats: Sometimes you
may wear a law-firm partner’s hat, making litigation strategy decisions or
covering a hearing on your own. Sometimes you’ll wear an associate’s hat,
analyzing complex and novel legal issues. Sometimes you’ll pitch in on
administrative tasks, making sure a brief gets filed properly or formatting a
table of authorities. Sometimes you’ll wear a start-up founder’s hat, helping
plan the number of employees we need, or representing LIC at conferences. We
can only promise it won’t be dull!

This job offers tremendous opportunity for advancement, in the form of helping
to lead LIC as we grow. The hope is for you to become an indispensable, long-
time member of our new team.

Commitment: Full time

Location and travel: This is a remote, U.S.-based position. You must be
available to travel for work as needed, since we will litigate all over the
country.

Reports to: Alene Anello, LIC’s president

Salary: $80,000–$130,000 depending on experience and role. (E.g. from $80,000
for someone with two years of litigation experience, up to $130,000 for
someone with 15 years or more of litigation experience.)

without regard to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin,
disability, age, or veteran status.
