Job description

Join a team where collaboration matters, mentorship is intentional, and your growth as an attorney is a firm-wide priority.

Marshall Dennehey, P.C., a nationally recognized Am Law 200 civil defense law firm with more than 60 years of dedicated service, is seeking Attorneys to join our Philadelphia office with an interest in insurance coverage.

The Opportunity

Specifically, we are looking for candidates who enjoy analytical writing and analysis, but who are also drawn toward the excitement of trial advocacy. This role provides a balanced mix of research, writing, hands on litigation and client interface. Our coverage group represents insurance companies in navigating all manner of coverage questions, filing declaratory judgement actions and defending coverage and bad faith suits involving all lines of insurance. Dual licensure in PA and NJ is preferred but not a prerequisite. Depending on interest, consideration could be given to the candidate working out of either our Philadelphia, PA, our Mt Laurel, NJ offices, or a combination of both.

Your Development Matters

At Marshall Dennehey, we invest in our attorneys. While you are not expected to independently manage cases from inception through trial on day one, you will work closely with experienced shareholders and associates who are committed to mentoring and skill development. Through hands-on experience, continuous feedback, and individualized goal-setting, you will gain the confidence and capability to grow into full case management at your own pace.

Strong analytical thinking, legal writing, research, and communication skills are highly valued—and continuously refined—within our litigation groups.

• Long-term stability and a clear future with the firm
