Litigation Partner Opportunity — Bring Your Book, Build Your Practice

This Jobot Job is hosted by: Amanda Cohen

Salary: $200,000 - $300,000 per year

A bit about us: We are a multi-disciplinary, human-scale law firm based in Boston. Our firm serves a diverse client base ranging from large corporations and closely-held businesses to state and local governments, school districts, non-profits, and individual clients.

Our litigation team is built around experienced trial attorneys who handle a full spectrum of complex legal matters, both in and out of the courtroom. While we prioritize efficient resolution through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration where appropriate, our attorneys are recognized by clients, opposing counsel, and the courts for aggressive, innovative advocacy when litigation is the right path — regularly trying cases before judges and juries in state and federal court, as well as before administrative agencies. Several of our attorneys also carry significant appellate experience, having produced decisions of statewide and national significance. We frequently serve as local counsel for regional, national, and international firms with matters in Massachusetts courts.

Deliberately structured without heavy layers of junior associates, our firm emphasizes direct, senior-level attorney involvement on every matter — allowing us to deliver sophisticated, personalized service at competitive rates. Our senior attorneys are also committed mentors, working closely with associates to develop the next generation of collaborative, expert counselors.

Why join us?

A true "human scale" practice — work directly with clients and senior partners, without the bureaucracy or internal politics of a large institutional firm

Broad, sophisticated litigation docket — state and federal trial work, appellate matters, and administrative proceedings across a range of substantive areas

Entrepreneurial, collaborative culture — a multi-disciplinary team that values community, diversity, history, and innovation

Direct path to real ownership — this is a genuine partner-level seat, not a maintenance role

New England roots, broad reach — serve as trusted local counsel for national and international firms with Massachusetts matters

Position: Litigation Partner

We are seeking an experienced Litigation Partner to join our team. This is a partner-level opportunity for an attorney who brings not only strong trial and advocacy skills, but also an established, portable book of business they can bring and grow within our platform.
