Join Smokeball as our Personal Injury Practice Advisor – Help Build the Future of Legal Tech for PI Firms! 

Who we are

Smokeball helps law firms bill more without their clients paying more. Intriguing, right? We were founded by technology leaders with more than 20 years of experience in delivering impactful legal technology products. Our leadership continually strives to develop a company, culture, and team that share a profound love for the law and is compelled to help small law firms find success. Our mission isn’t simple, but it is straightforward: help small law firms be successful businesses so that they can better serve our communities.

What makes us special? 

1. Culture is sacred. As a 'Best Places to Work' winner four years in a row, we believe company culture is the single most important ingredient to our success. At the end of the day, it is all about our people.
2. The best product in Legal Tech. We think deeply about the challenges small law firms face. We do not bother with simply delivering a “faster horse,” we drive innovations that truly enhance the lives and businesses of our clients. Check out our ratings on G2, Capterra, and Google.
3. Industry Opportunity. The Legal Tech industry is estimated to be worth around $15bn and is growing every year. Smokeball is growing right along with it, and we like to take our people with us.

Our working model 

At Smokeball, we believe there is nothing more powerful than a community of people coming together to work on a product that they, and our clients, love. When it comes to working as a community, we see the value in both coming together and allowing our “Smokeballers” the flexibility that remote work offers. 

All Chicago employees are in the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays. While our office is open 5 days a week, we allow you to choose what works best for you on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. 

Our office is in the heart of the Loop within 10 minutes of the Metra and all “EL” trains. And, we have lots (and lots) of snacks.

The Role

We’re looking for a sharp, experienced Plaintiff Personal Injury attorney ready to make a real impact by shaping legal technology that improves how PI lawyers work every day.

• Shape our voice: Partner with Marketing to deliver compelling, real-world PI content (webinars, blog posts, CLEs, product releases). 
• Drive adoption: Support our Sales and Implementation teams with training, demos, and insights that speak directly to PI firms. 
• Connect to the front lines: Meet with our PI clients, gather feedback, observe workflows, and translate that into product and process improvements. 
• Contribute to our PI strategy: Influence our go-to-market approach, messaging, and roadmap as we scale up in the PI vertical.
