What are the responsibilities and job description for the Litigation Attorney — Co-Founder & CEO (CaseBinder) position at PatentVC?
We're looking for a litigator who wants to build the Bloomberg Terminal for litigation.
Not a legal tech enthusiast. Not a lawyer-turned-PM. A litigator — someone who has lived inside depositions, motion practice, and discovery — who is done watching disconnected documents and manual docket review eat the best hours of the day.
That person is our Co-Founder & CEO.
Here's the problem we're solving:
Litigation runs on human memory stretched across years of filings. Harvey and Legora bolt AI onto legal research. Anthropic just shipped a horizontal fabric connecting Claude to Westlaw and Outlook. None of them are building what litigators actually need — a persistent, matter-level intelligence system that knows everything about a case and updates itself in real time.
That's CaseBinder.
We continuously ingest PACER. We detect new filings, extract citations, verify quotation accuracy, and maintain a per-matter context store spanning thousands of docket entries. We flag contradictions across the full case record in real time — including during depositions. We pre-draft work product in anticipation of opposing counsel's next move.
The moat is architectural. We've filed patents on the core pipeline.
What you're walking into:
→ Working prototype (try the Musk case model at casebinder.ai)
→ Engineering team and AI infrastructure already in place
→ Active conversations with major legal industry participants
→ ~30% founder equity, formalized at first external financing
→ $80K–$150K base (experience-dependent)
→ Full PatentVC Trademarkia operational support from day one
What you need to succeed in this role:
Deep litigation fluency. The kind where you know why a dkt. entry at 4:47 pm matters. Everything else — legal AI literacy, agentic coding, fundraising — can be learned on the job. The ability to think like a litigator cannot.
In your first 90 days, you'll sit with partners, associates, and paralegals. You'll identify the three workflows where CaseBinder becomes non-optional. You'll cut everything else. And you'll get the first paying design partner signed.
If that sounds like the right problem to spend the next five years on, go to casebinder.ai first. Use the product. Then send a short note answering three questions:
1. Which litigation workflow should CaseBinder make non-optional first, and why?
2. How does CaseBinder survive Claude for Legal?
3. Why you, and why now?
No cover letter. No résumé padding. We'll know within one message.
