Why This Is a Great Opportunity

• Join a sophisticated boutique litigation practice where you can take meaningful ownership of complex, high-exposure matters.
• Work directly with experienced trial attorneys and gain substantive responsibility rather than being buried in layers of a large-firm structure.
• Manage your own files, develop case strategy, take depositions, attend mediations, negotiate resolutions, and prepare matters for trial.
• Hybrid schedule with remote Mondays and Fridays and additional flexibility when circumstances warrant.
• Guaranteed bonus opportunities for annual billed hours above the 1,900-hour requirement.
• Strong candidates at different experience levels are welcome, including attorneys from law firm, solo, or in-house backgrounds with meaningful litigation experience.

Malvern, PA. This is a flexible hybrid opportunity with remote work on Mondays and Fridays and in-office collaboration Tuesday through Thursday. Additional flexibility may be considered for candidates with legitimate commuting or geographic needs. Fully remote arrangements may also be considered for qualifying New Jersey-based attorneys who are appropriately admitted in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
