This position is ideal for a recent law school graduate or entry‑level attorney who is eager to learn and develop hands‑on skills in a supportive, collaborative environment. The Associate Attorney will work closely and support experienced partners on a wide range of matters—handling cases, writing briefs, and engaging in direct client and courtroom work—while also gaining exposure to general practice areas such as civil litigation, business law, contracts, real estate, and estate planning. We’re seeking someone who’s curious, confident, and resourceful—someone who thrives on solving challenges even when the path forward isn’t immediately clear. This role offers hands‑on, case‑by‑case training that promotes continuous learning and professional growth, all while supporting a healthy work‑life balance.

Key Responsibilities

• Communicate professionally and effectively with clients, opposing counsel, and court personnel.
• Manage case files, ensuring timely preparation, organization, and filing of all legal documents.
• Provide thoughtful legal advice and guidance to clients with professionalism and empathy.
• Stay current on relevant laws, court procedures, and emerging legal trends impacting active cases.
• Demonstrate initiative by expanding knowledge and developing skills in new practice areas as needed.

Qualifications

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school.
• Licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania (or pending bar results).
• 0–3 years of experience in a law firm or legal setting (new graduates encouraged to apply).
• Ability to manage multiple cases and deadlines effectively.
• Resourceful and proactive problem‑solver—comfortable learning by doing.
• Opportunity to earn a bonus on retained referrals that become clients.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) retirement plan with employer contributions.
• Paid time off and professional development opportunities.
• Mentorship and career growth in a collaborative firm environment with a supportive team culture that values work‑life balance.
