Litigation Attorney - Creditor Representation

Fortra Law is hiring a Litigation Attorney

At Fortra Law, one of our core values is “Un-firm.” We believe great attorneys shouldn’t have to choose between doing excellent work and being themselves. If you’re a creditor-side litigator who values autonomy, practical solutions, and direct client relationships, this role may be a strong fit. We represent lenders, servicers, and mortgage professionals—primarily non-bank—and our litigation practice is built around efficient, solution-oriented creditor representation.

The Role

This position is ideal for an attorney with meaningful experience representing creditors and secured lenders. You’ll manage matters from intake through resolution, collaborate with an experienced litigation team, and work directly with sophisticated clients who value responsiveness and strategy.

• Experience handling collections, defense litigation, and secured real estate matters
• Familiarity with Unlawful Detainers, Bankruptcy proceedings, and post-judgment remedies is a plus
• Comfortable running your own cases: drafting pleadings, taking depositions, making court appearances, and communicating directly with clients
• Self-motivated and accountable — we don’t micromanage
• Client-savvy and solutions-oriented — you focus on resolution, not roadblocks

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $120,000–$200,000 (commensurate with experience)
• Discretionary annual bonus program
• Medical coverage through Anthem or Kaiser Permanente (100% of employee premium covered for base plan)
• Dental, vision, life/AD&D, and disability insurance options
• 401(k) with 3% Safe Harbor employer contribution after one year
