Job description

Are you ready to step into a role that offers real hands-on litigation experience, high-level exposure, and a culture that values both excellence and work-life balance?

A fast-growing, dynamic litigation boutique is expanding its Delaware office and looking for a talented mid-level litigation associate to join the team.

Why This Firm?

• Get the sophisticated, high-stakes work of Big Law - without the bureaucracy (work has followed the Partners at this firm from the likes of Kirkland, RLF and others)
• Real courtroom experience - 2nd-year associates here take witnesses at trial.
• A tight-knit, collaborative culture where attorneys actually like each other.
• No pressure to grind out 2500+ hours - 1850 billable minimum with merit-based bonuses.
• Leadership that values family and flexibility, not just the bottom line.

Who Should Apply?

• Mid-level litigators from Big Law or strong commercial/bankruptcy litigation practices who want more substantive experience (willing to be flexible on experience for motivated, hard working candidates that are above or below the mid-level range)
• Hard workers who want to lead cases, not just push papers.
• Candidates with strong academic credentials - they value brains over school rankings.
• Delaware-barred attorneys.

Compensation: ~$190 to 250K (flexible) based on experience, competitive bonuses, strong benefits, and a culture that supports career growth without burning you out.

This is not just another job - it's a chance to build something special in Delaware litigation.
