Lorber, Greenfield & Olsen, LLP has been a trusted name in civil litigation defense for over 46 years. Since 1980, we've built our reputation on successfully representing developers and general contractors in complex construction defect and casualty claims — and our AV® Peer Review Rating from Martindale-Hubbell is a testament to the caliber of work we deliver. We're a firm that takes its cases seriously and its people even more so.

We believe in empowering our employees to work where they're most productive. Whether you prefer being onsite, working remotely, or a hybrid approach, the choice is yours. We trust our team members to choose the work arrangement that best fits their lifestyle and working style.

• Draft and file motions, pleadings, and discovery with precision and persuasion
• Represent clients in trials, arbitrations, depositions, and mediations
• Keep clients and their insurers informed and confident throughout the process
• Deliver sound legal advice grounded in real litigation experience
• Own your docket — manage day-to-day litigation tasks and meet billable targets

What We're Looking For

• 2-3+ years of civil litigation experience (you've done this before and enjoyed it)
• A track record of drafting and arguing motions that hold up in court
• Confidence navigating the Nevada court system
• Skilled at depositions and witness examinations
• Excellent written and verbal communication — you make complex things clear
• Strong analytical instincts and the judgment to use them
• Comfortable working independently and collaborating as part of a team
• Active member of the Nevada State Bar
• Background in construction or casualty claims? That's a big plus

Benefits & Perks

• Bonus opportunities
• Work-life balance
• Remote / hybrid / in-office
• Flexible paid leave
• Medical HMO/PPO insurance
• Vision insurance
• Employer paid life insurance
