A bit about us:We are a full-service law firm with a growing Washington, DC office and a real estate litigation practice that keeps our attorneys in court week in and week out. Our clients are large landlords and property management companies who send us a steady, high volume of work and rely on us to move their matters quickly and handle them well. The practice is busy, the docket is full, and we need another litigator who wants to be part of it.
Why join us?Most litigation associates at the 4-year mark have spent more time in document review than in a courtroom. That is not how this job works.
- You will be in court regularly, handling your own hearings and arguing your own motions
- You will try cases, both bench and jury, years before most of your peers get the chance
- You will write constantly: pleadings, oppositions, motions, and trial documents that actually get filed and argued
- The work comes from institutional clients with consistent needs, so the docket stays full
- You get the backing of a full-service firm, with real room for professional development and advancement
- Competitive compensation and benefits package
