Job description

Looking to build a long-term litigation career where mentoring, meaningful responsibility, and client interaction are the standard—not the exception?

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 Roseland office. This opportunity is ideal for an attorney with 2-5 years of litigation experience who is eager to grow within a collaborative, client-focused environment.

The Opportunity

Specifically, we are seeking candidates who have at least 2 years experience in construction defect/ design professional litigation who can independently handle a caseload with limited oversight but appropriate mentorship. A New York license is a plus, but not required. This position is designed for a construction lawyer who is looking to take their practice to the next level with the help of local subject matter expertise combined with an institutional platform that supports practice and individual growth.

The firm welcomes candidates who thrive in our diverse, inclusive, collaborative, open-door environment where they appreciate direct access and continued support from our experienced shareholders and dynamic associates.

Compensation Range:

$115,000 - $150,000+ which is negotiable dependent on experience level and portable business.

The posted compensation range for this position is based on several legitimate, non-discriminatory factors set by the Firm. Marshall Dennehey is committed to ensuring equal pay opportunities for equal work regardless of gender, race, or any other category protected by federal, state, or local pay equity laws.

Your Development Matters

At Marshall Dennehey, we invest in our attorneys. While you are not expected to independently manage cases from inception through trial on day one, you will work closely with experienced shareholders and associates who are committed to mentoring and skill development. Through hands-on experience, continuous feedback, and individualized goal-setting, you will gain the confidence and capability to grow into full case management at your own pace.

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

Firm Culture

We pride ourselves on a diverse, inclusive, and open-door culture where ideas are welcomed, collaboration is encouraged, and attorneys at all levels have direct access to leadership. Our attorneys thrive because they are supported.

Marshall Dennehey seeks attorneys who are looking for a true “forever home.” We value steady career growth, internal advancement, and attorneys who want to build lasting professional relationships—while helping others succeed along the way.

In return, we offer:

• Multiple financial bonus opportunities throughout the year
• The firm-funded Marshall Associate Advantage™ Lifestyle Account which can cover student loan repayments, gym memberships, dry cleaning, theme park tickets, home delivered meal kits and more.
• Long-term stability and a clear future with the firm
