Defense Litigation Associate | 2–5 Years | Hybrid
This opportunity is for an associate who has built a solid litigation foundation and is ready for greater responsibility, stronger mentorship, and more meaningful involvement in complex cases.
You'll work alongside experienced trial attorneys on sophisticated defense matters involving licensed professionals, technical subject matter, and high-stakes disputes. Rather than being limited to document review or research assignments, you'll have the opportunity to actively contribute to case strategy, client communications, depositions, hearings, and motion practice.
This is an environment where associates are encouraged to think critically, develop litigation judgment, and take ownership of their work as they continue to grow.
What You'll Do
- Draft and argue substantive motions
- Manage written discovery and case development
- Take and defend depositions
- Participate in hearings and client strategy discussions
- Work directly with experienced litigators on complex defense matters
- Assume increasing responsibility as your practice develops
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Meaningful hands-on litigation experience
- Direct mentorship from accomplished litigators
- Exposure to sophisticated, challenging defense matters
- A collaborative team environment that values professional development
- Hybrid work flexibility
- Clear opportunity to continue building your litigation skills and judgment
What We're Looking For
- 2–5 years of civil litigation experience
- Defense litigation experience preferred
- Experience with depositions, discovery, and motion practice
- Strong writing, analytical, and case management skills
- A self-motivated attorney who enjoys taking ownership and wants to continue growing as a litigator
If you're looking for a role where you'll gain substantive experience, develop stronger litigation skills, and work closely with attorneys who are invested in your long-term success, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
