Job description

Join a litigation team where collaboration matters, mentorship is intentional, and your growth as an attorney is a firm-wide priority.

Marshall Dennehey, P.C., a nationally recognized Am Law 200 civil defense law firm with more than 60 years of dedicated service, is seeking a Professional Liability Attorney to join our Philadelphia office with 2–5 years of legal experience, preferably in civil litigation, needed for a dynamic professional liability practice.

The Opportunity

This position is ideal for a candidate who desires to work alongside trial lawyers defending:

• Insurance agents
• Directors and officers
• Other licensed professionals sued for professional negligence

Our practice is team-based and highly collaborative, offering meaningful client interaction and a clear path for professional development and practice growth.

Your Development Matters

At Marshall Dennehey, we invest in our attorneys.

Strong analytical thinking, legal writing, research, and communication skills are highly valued—and continuously refined—within our litigation groups.

In return, we offer:

• Multiple financial bonus opportunities throughout the year
• The firm-funded Marshall Associate Advantage™ Lifestyle Account
• Long-term stability and a clear future with the firm
