Job description

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

The Opportunity

Marshall Dennehey, a leading Am Law 200 civil defense law firm with over sixty years of continued service to our corporate, insurance, and individual clients, is seeking an experienced Medical Malpractice Attorney to assist in the defense of Medical Malpractice cases in our Philadelphia, PA office. The applicant should have at least two (2) years of experience.

The successful candidate would join a dynamic team of 8 lawyers but work primarily under 2 shareholders. Our goal is to hire associates who want to learn and develop their legal skills. We welcome candidates who desire to advance within the firm while assisting others to do the same.

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.

Firm Culture

We pride ourselves on a diverse, inclusive, and open-door culture where ideas are welcomed, collaboration is encouraged, and attorneys at all levels have direct access to leadership. Our attorneys thrive because they are supported.

Marshall Dennehey seeks attorneys who are looking for a true “forever home.” We value steady career growth, internal advancement, and attorneys who want to build lasting professional relationships—while helping others succeed along the way.

In return, we offer:

• Multiple financial bonus opportunities throughout the year
• The firm-funded Marshall Associate Advantage™ Lifestyle Account which can cover student loan repayments, gym memberships, dry cleaning, theme park tickets, home delivered meal kits and more.
• Long-term stability and a clear future with the firm
