Products Liability Litigation Associate or Mass Torts Litigation Associate

New York and New Jersey admission (or NY admission with ability to waive into NJ) is required.

Products Liability Litigation or Mass Torts Litigation

Remote | Hybrid | New York / New Jersey

We are representing a high-caliber litigation boutique with a nationally respected practice. The firm defends manufacturers, distributors, insurers, and corporate defendants in complex products liability and toxic tort litigation across state and federal courts nationwide.

This is an opportunity for an associate seeking substantive litigation experience — not document review — within a platform deeply involved in deposition practice, expert-driven litigation, dispositive motions, and trial strategy in sophisticated product liability matters.

The Practice

The firm’s products liability and toxic torts group handles high-stakes litigation involving:

• Products liability defense
• Toxic tort and exposure-related claims
• Catastrophic injury and wrongful death matters
• Insurance-backed defense of manufacturers and distributors
• Multi-defendant state court litigation and federal proceedings
• Complex discovery, expert testimony, and scientific/medical causation issues

The team is known for securing dismissals, summary judgment victories, and favorable resolutions through aggressive motion practice, technical analysis, and strategic litigation management.

Associates receive meaningful responsibility and direct exposure to strategy, depositions, expert coordination, and courtroom work from early on.

What You’ll Do

You will play a hands‑on role in active products liability matters, including:

• Taking and defending fact, corporate, and expert depositions
• Drafting motions to dismiss, summary judgment motions, and complex discovery papers
• Working directly with senior trial lawyers on litigation strategy and defense development
• Managing cases across New York, New Jersey, and other jurisdictions
• Assisting with expert development, exposure analysis, and case evaluation
• Participating in court appearances, mediations, and trial preparation

This is a litigation-forward role built for attorneys who want to sharpen their skills in sophisticated, courtroom-driven defense work.

Who This Is For

This role is ideal for an associate who:

• Has 3–10+ years of litigation experience
• Has experience in products liability or toxic tort
• Is comfortable handling depositions, motion practice, and active case management
• Wants a more focused, flexible, and substantive practice than traditional BigLaw or high-volume insurance defense

New York and New Jersey admission (or NY admission with ability to waive into NJ) is required.

Why This Platform

This boutique offers:

• National-level products liability and mass tort litigation
• Direct access to senior trial lawyers and sophisticated matters
• Meaningful deposition and motion responsibility
• Remote and hybrid flexibility
• Lean teams and hands‑on mentorship
• Significant client interaction and litigation ownership

Compensation is competitive and aligned with experience, up to $220K plus bonus.
