Job description

Litigation Attorney

$150000 - $200000 per year | Towson, MD | On-site | Permanent

A bit about us:

Our client is a well established, full service law firm based in the Baltimore, Maryland area, with more than a hundred years of continuous operation serving individuals, businesses, and organizations throughout the region. The firm has built its reputation on deep community roots and a broad practice base that spans corporate and business law, criminal defense, family law, litigation, and real estate. Its attorneys are known locally for combining long standing legal experience with a personal, relationship driven approach to client service, and the firm continues to grow its client roster while staying true to the collegial, close knit culture that has defined it for generations.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to join a respected, mid sized firm where attorneys are given real ownership of their cases and direct access to firm leadership from day one. Because the firm handles a wide range of matters, from business disputes and construction claims to personal injury, employment, and probate related litigation, attorneys gain broad courtroom experience rather than being siloed into a single narrow niche. The firm's attorneys are active in the local legal community, frequently serving in bar association leadership roles, teaching at area law schools, and presenting continuing legal education programs, which creates strong opportunities for professional visibility and growth. The environment is collaborative and supportive, with experienced partners who are invested in mentoring newer attorneys, and the firm's long tenure in the market provides the kind of stability that is increasingly rare among firms of similar size.

Job Details

• Juris Doctor from an accredited law school
• Active license to practice law in Maryland (in good standing)
• Several years of hands on civil litigation experience, ideally spanning some combination of business and commercial disputes, personal injury, employment matters, real estate or construction disputes, or general civil litigation
• Demonstrated first chair or significant second chair courtroom and deposition experience
• Strong legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills
• Experience managing a caseload independently, from intake through trial or resolution
• Comfort working directly with clients and building long term client relationships
• Familiarity with Maryland state court procedure; federal court and appellate experience a plus
• High level of professionalism, discretion, and collaborative teamwork within a close knit firm environment
