Senior Trial Attorney (or team) - High Stakes Business Partnership Disputes

Bellementis PLLC

Compensation: Top of Market + Significant Bonus Opportunity

Company Description. Bellementis PLLC is a full-service boutique law firm advising institutions, companies, funds, founders, and market participants across corporate, litigation, regulatory, transactional, AI, and digital asset matters. The firm operates at the intersection of traditional finance and emerging markets built on blockchain, AI, and on-chain infrastructure, combining Wall Street–caliber regulatory rigor with crypto-native technical and policy fluency. Bellementis lawyers have led significant matters before the SEC, CFTC, FINRA, NFA, FinCEN, IRS, DOJ, and federal banking agencies, and have advised on Capitol Hill and in cross-border sovereign representations. The firm is structured around four integrated pillars: Regulatory & Compliance; Investigations, Enforcement & Litigation; Business & Transactions; and Policy, Congressional Investigations & Sovereign Advisory. Powered by SophieLex, Bellementis leverages purpose-built legal AI infrastructure for primary-source grounded, citation-aware analysis in high-sensitivity legal environments.

Position(s) . We are seeking exceptional senior litigation attorneys to lead and be part of a team litigating some of the most significant disputes involving founders, law firm partners, executives, rainmakers, and business owners. This is not a position for someone who wants routine commercial litigation. If you enjoy identifying leverage, exposing misconduct, developing complex factual records, and winning cases against traditional institutions with ethically questionable tactics--then this is an opportunity for you.

The successful candidate will initially focus primarily on one anticipated high-profile litigation against a large law firm and numerous of its partners, personally (including senior management) in a matter potentially involving:

  • ownership disputes
  • governance disputes
  • partner separations
  • fiduciary duty claims, including aiding and abetting
  • defamation and reputational attacks and damages
  • compensation disputes
  • fraud and fraudulent inducement
  • constructive fraud
  • promissory estoppel
  • unjust enrichment
  • conversion of client files/property'
  • conversion of personal economic property and intellectual property
  • misappropriation of trade secrets
  • quantum meruit
  • civil and business conspiracy
  • federal discrimination statutes (Title VII, Equal Pay Act, Retaliation)
  • hostile work environment
  • tortious interference with client and other business relationships
  • conspiracy
  • computer fraud (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act); trespass to chattels
  • unfair competition and antitrust
  • intentional infliction of emotional distress
  • emergency litigation.

The ideal client: understands how to build a case from multiple angles simultaneously. You should be comfortable investigating complex misconduct involving ephemeral devices, litigating business torts, litigation employment and discrimination claims, managing emergency litigation with a prolonged multi-pronged aggressive approach, challenging institutional conduct, trial preparation.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Exceptional base salary
  • Significant quarterly bonus opportunity
  • Premium medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k)
  • CLE and bar reimbursement
  • Business development support
  • Flexible work arrangements

Candidates require J.D. from an accredited law school and strong academic record; admission in good standing to at least one U.S. jurisdiction (DC admission preferred but not required).
