Civil Litigation Attorney | Newark, NJ (Hybrid) - $225K

Location/Schedule: Newark, NJ (Hybrid)

Base Salary: $225K

Practice: New Jersey commercial and complex civil litigation. Contract, business tort, and high-exposure liability disputes for corporate clients.

Our client is the rare full-service firm with offices and lawyers in all 50 states, more than 1000 attorneys, founded in the 1970's. New Jersey sits on that platform. The local docket is commercial litigation, construction, products, and professional liability.

Why You Should Join:

• A 50-State Platform Behind a Newark File - When a New Jersey case crosses a border, the office is already there. You are not hiring local counsel in a panic.
• $225K for New Jersey Commercial and Complex Civil Work - Contract and business torts, plus construction and products files with real exposure. Not a volume auto desk.
• Construction and Products, Tried - The firm takes these to verdict, including multi-state trial teams. Courtroom time is assigned, not watched.
• Carrier Work Without a Claims-Desk Title - Coverage and indemnity issues sit on the commercial files. You learn them. The practice line stays civil litigation.
• Hybrid Newark - In for court. Not a five-day Essex requirement on a firm.

What You’ll Actually Do:

• Litigate commercial and complex civil disputes in New Jersey state and federal court.
• Defend construction, products, and professional liability claims.
• Take depositions and draft dispositive motions.
• Work indemnity and coverage issues that sit on those files.

Requirements:

• JD and active New Jersey bar
• 3-8 years post-bar civil, commercial, or insurance litigation - current Associate, Counsel, or Partner
• Law clerks and summer associates will not be considered
• Depositions taken

No one fits every box perfectly - if you’re a practicing Civil Litigation attorney who wants $225K in Newark on more than a local docket, let’s talk confidentially.
