Job description

Job Description

An established litigation practice is seeking a Defense Litigation Associate who is ready to deepen their experience and take on a more active role in case handling. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond task-based assignments and gain meaningful exposure across all phases of litigation.

You’ll work on complex defense matters involving licensed professionals and technical issues, with the expectation that you contribute to strategy, manage key aspects of cases, and continue building your skill set in a substantive way.

This role is well-suited for an associate who has a solid civil litigation foundation and is looking to expand their experience in a more hands-on, engaged environment.

What You’ll Gain

• Direct involvement in case strategy and client interaction
• Experience handling depositions, written discovery, hearings, and motion practice
• Increased responsibility for managing your own matters with partner support
• Ongoing mentorship focused on development—not just oversight
• Exposure to complex, high-value defense work
• Hybrid schedule with flexibility

What They’re Looking For

• 2–5 years of civil litigation experience
• Defense experience preferred (professional liability, healthcare, insurance defense, or complex litigation)
• Experience with depositions, discovery, and motion practice
• Strong writing, research, and analytical skills
• Someone motivated to take ownership and continue building their litigation experience

If you’re looking for a role where you can expand your experience, take on more responsibility, and continue developing as a litigator, this is worth a conversation.
