Job description

Marshall Dennehey, a leading AM Law 200 civil defense law firm with more than 60 years of dedicated service to our corporate, insurance and individual clients, is seeking an Associate Attorney with five (5) to ten (10) years of litigation experience to join our growing Workers' Compensation Department in Wilmington, Delaware.

This is an exceptional opportunity to litigate a variety of workers' compensation claims involving high-exposure, complex litigation. Common claims we litigate involve repetitive trauma, occupational disease, and death and hearing loss claims. We represent clients across numerous industries including construction, manufacturing, technology, health care, retail, education and more.

The successful candidate for this position will possess strong analytical, writing, research and communication skills. In return, our Wilmington workers' compensation team provides a diverse, inclusive, open-door environment where colleagues collaborate to proactively and innovatively defend our clients. While it is not immediately expected that the candidate will independently manage their own cases, we are confident that under our tutelage and mentorship, the candidate will develop the necessary skills to manage a case from inception through resolution.

Marshall Dennehey seeks to hire attorneys who want to find their “forever home.” We welcome candidates who desire to advance within the firm while assisting others to do the same. To that end, we prefer a steady and consistent work history. In return, the firm offers a competitive salary including multiple financial bonus opportunities throughout the year, a comprehensive employee benefits package, a new firm funded Lifestyle Account beginning January 2023 entitled “Marshall Associate Advantage”, and a sound future.

Marshall Dennehey supports and encourages workplace diversity and we are an Equal Opportunity Employer AA/M/F/D/V. The firm's investment in this arena has been observed by numerous publications and we were honored with a 2022 “Tipping the Scales” recognition by the Diversity & Flexibility Alliance. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation, genetic information or any other protected characteristic under applicable law.

Qualified applicants may submit their cover letter and resume for consideration.
