Litigation Associate – IL

We are a national plaintiffs’ litigation firm representing individuals and families harmed by corporate wrongdoing. We are currently seeking associate attorneys with a demonstrated commitment to plaintiff-side civil litigation, ideally in asbestos. Personal injury, torts, or product liability experience is preferred as well. Our work is fast-paced, high stakes, and emotionally compelling. We work closely with clients navigating devastating diagnoses and tragic losses, and we pride ourselves on being relentless advocates in and out of the courtroom. This is a full-time in-office position with frequent travel.

As an Associate Attorney, you will learn all aspects of asbestos litigation and quickly become responsible for handling cases. Case management responsibilities include written discovery, taking and defending depositions, drafting and arguing motions, and trial work as a second chair. Prior experience with these tasks is appreciated, but not required.

Our work involves significant client contact, which brings us into the lives of families going through the most stressful time of their lives. Empathy and the ability to build rapport with people from varied backgrounds are keys to success in this position. Because of this, frequent travel is required.

While this role is traditionally in-office, remote work may be considered based on experience and fit.

Qualifications:

• Background in plaintiff-side asbestos litigation is preferred; but other desirable experience areas include, but are not limited to, personal injury, medical malpractice, and product liability.
• A valid J.D. from an ABA accredited institution and admission to bar of applicable State;
• Excellent legal research and writing abilities;
• Ability to cultivate and maintain strong client relationships;
• Ability to work as an individual and as a part of a team on behalf of injured clients;
• Ability to work under a deadline in a fast-paced environment;
• Please submit a writing sample in lieu of a cover letter.

Maune Raichle Hartley French & Mudd, LLC offers a competitive salary commensurate with experience. Additionally, the firm offers a comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, paid holidays, medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, as well as paid parking. In addition, we offer a 401(k) program and short and long term disability insurance.

Maune Raichle Hartley French & Mudd, LLC is an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
