Litigation Associate — Plaintiff Asbestos & Mass Tort | Philadelphia, PA (In-Office)

A national plaintiffs' firm representing mesothelioma and asbestos-cancer patients is adding a Litigation Associate to its Philadelphia office.

The cases are complex and fast-moving — dozens of defendants, substantial settlements and verdicts — and the office runs collaborative and open-door. This is an in-office position in Center City.

What you'll do

• Learn asbestos litigation end to end and take responsibility for your own cases quickly.
• Written discovery; taking and defending depositions; drafting and arguing motions; second-chair trial work.
• Significant client contact with families in the hardest stretch of their lives — empathy and rapport are the job, not a bonus.

What we're looking for

• J.D. from an ABA-accredited school and admission to the Pennsylvania bar.
• 2–6 years of civil litigation; plaintiff-side preferred. Prior deposition and motion work appreciated, not required.
• Strong legal research and writing; works a deadline in a fast-paced environment; committed to plaintiff work.
• Important: this firm cannot consider candidates with asbestos-defense experience.

The details

• In the Philadelphia office full time.
• Base $140,000–$185,000, commensurate with experience. Full benefits: PTO, paid holidays, medical/dental/vision/life, paid parking, 401(k), short- and long-term disability.
• Authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.

How this works: apply with a resume. If it fits, Jeff Roberts at L&W Recruiting will reach out with a few call windows. On that call you'll get the firm's name and the full picture. Straight answers both ways.
