Our firm continues to expand, and this position will focus on seeking justice for sexual abuse survivors. This position is ideal for an attorney with litigation and trial skills ready to jump into a busy caseload.

As an Associate Attorney at PCVA, you will play a crucial role in supporting our clients by handling many aspects of litigation, which may include :

• Managing cases from inception to completion
• Maintaining strong client relationships
• Drafting persuasive motions and confidently presenting arguments in court
• Skillfully conducting and defending depositions
• Successfully taking cases to trial

Our ideal candidate will have :

• A strong interest in complex plaintiffs' personal injury litigation and a passion for advocating on behalf of survivors of childhood sexual abuse

The compensation structure for this role provides a competitive annual salary range of $155,000 to $185,000, supplemented by an expansive bonus program which rewards experience and performance. In 2024, our more experienced associates received total compensation ranging between $200,000 and $400,000+.

Our bonus structure is comprised of two components. The first, an objective bonus, is triggered when the firm successfully achieves its annual revenue target. The second component is a subjective bonus, allocated at the end of the year, which is designed to recognize individual performance.

As a contingency-based firm, we operate under the principle that our victories are shared ones. This principle is embodied in our bonus structure, rewarding our attorneys generously whenever the firm succeeds.
