Commercial Litigation Attorney (Partnership Track or Reduced-Hour Staff Attorney)

Location: Baton Rouge, LA (Downtown)
Experience: 3+ years

Our client, a leading full-service regional law firm, is seeking a Commercial Litigation Attorney to join its litigation practice - with the flexibility to pursue either a traditional partnership track or a reduced-hour staff attorney role. This opportunity is ideal for a litigator who wants to run cases hands-on, work directly with clients, and choose the career path that fits their goals.

What You'll Work On:

• Manage a litigation caseload from start to finish, including court appearances, depositions, and client communication
• Work closely with partners across all phases of litigation, from case reporting through trial preparation
• Take and defend depositions and handle motion practice and written discovery
• Navigate e-discovery platforms and workflows
• Communicate directly with clients and provide timely case updates
• Help build and strengthen client and referral relationships

What We're Looking For:

• Minimum 3+ years of litigation experience, with strong skills in depositions, motion practice, and written discovery
• Excellent academic credentials and strong research, writing, communication, and advocacy skills
• Demonstrated ability and desire to engage directly with clients and develop business relationships
• Capability to independently manage a caseload from start to finish
• Familiarity with electronic discovery platforms
• Transcript(s) and writing sample required with resume submission

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Two paths, one role - choose a partnership track (1,900 billable hour requirement) or a reduced-hour staff attorney arrangement
• Multiple bonus opportunities: billings bonus based on collections, plus production and origination bonuses
• Direct client contact and meaningful litigation responsibility, not just support work
• Downtown Baton Rouge location

Benefits:

Competitive compensation set commensurate with graduation year and experience, with performance-based bonus opportunities and a comprehensive benefits package.

If you're ready to take ownership of your cases - on the track that fits your life - we'd love to hear from you.
