Job description

Full-time hybrid associate attorney in Pittsburgh with 1 to 3 years of experience; active matters from day one, mentorship, bonuses and fee sharing.

What Will an Associate Attorney Do?

We are hiring Associate Attorneys to join our established practice groups. Candidates with experience in family law, employment law, business and corporate law, civil litigation, or estate planning and estate administration are encouraged to apply, whether your experience is focused on one area or spans several.

You will not spend your first year waiting for work. New associates receive active matters from day one and handle them from intake through resolution, with growing independence and support from experienced attorneys. That includes drafting, negotiating, advising clients and appearing before courts and agencies, while we actively help you develop your own book of business.

How Does the Firm Support New Associates?

You will have an established caseload and steady firm-generated referrals, mentorship from attorneys across several practice areas, and experienced paralegals, legal assistants and administrative staff. Our marketing team provides business development resources to help you grow a practice, and the culture is collegial and team oriented.

We are a technology-forward practice. Our attorneys work in a CRM, with cloud-based files, e-signature, and AI-assisted research and drafting tools, so you can work efficiently whether you are in the office or working from home.

What Are We Looking For?

• Admission to practice in Pennsylvania, in good standing.
• One to three years of experience in one or more of the practice areas above (preferred).
• Strong research, writing, negotiation and client communication skills.
• The organization to manage several matters at once in a fast-paced setting.
• Self-motivation, along with an easy way of working with attorneys and staff.

What Are the Pay and Benefits?

The base salary is $75,000 to $95,000, depending on experience, with performance-based bonuses and fee sharing on matters you originate. Qualified candidates may receive a signing bonus of up to $10,000, subject to a three-month retention period; the full terms come with the application.

Benefits include health, dental and vision coverage, a 401(k), paid time off, and bar dues and CLE. The schedule is hybrid, with at least three days a week in our Pittsburgh office.
