Remote Litigation Lawyer - Israel

About Moritz

Moritz is an AI-native global law firm building the next generation of commercial legal infrastructure. We combine proprietary AI tooling with a curated network of senior commercial lawyers to deliver vetted contract work at a speed and price point that traditional firms cannot match.

We serve clients globally across Europe, the US, and Australia, with active expansion into new markets including public procurement work.

We believe great commercial law is high-stakes, high-volume, and overdue for re-engineering. We hire people who want to do the best work of their careers in a small, ambitious team.

Moritz has raised a $9M seed round from Y Combinator, 20VC, and 20+ unicorn founders — including the founders of Dropbox, Gusto, and Instacart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I employed by Moritz when I join the network?

No. Moritz does not employ the lawyers in its co-counsel network.

Moritz handles client intake, billing, conflicts checks, and matter management, so you can focus on the legal work.

How are co-counsel matched to client matters?

Moritz matches co-counsel to client matters based on jurisdiction, subject-matter expertise, capacity, and fit. The client engages Moritz; Moritz assigns the right co-counsel to the matter.
