We are seeking a motivated, hardworking attorney who wants to develop litigation skills quickly and gain meaningful courtroom experience early in practice. This position is an excellent opportunity for a newer associate or entry-level lawyer who is eager to learn, take on responsibility, and grow into a strong litigator.


Our firm handles a broad range of litigation matters, including personal injury, family law, criminal law, and general civil and commercial litigation, in both state and federal court.

The ideal candidate will have strong oral and written communication skills, sound research and analytical abilities, and the willingness to learn quickly in a fast-paced environment. We are willing to train an eager associate, including someone with little or no experience, if that person is motivated, coachable, and genuinely interested in developing as a litigator.


Responsibilities include:
*   Assisting with all aspects of litigation in state and federal court
*   Working on matters involving personal injury, family law, criminal law, and general civil and       commercial litigation
*   Drafting pleadings, motions, briefs, and other litigation documents
*   Conducting legal research and assisting with case strategy
*   Attending hearings and court settings
*   Taking and defending depositions
*   Assisting with trial preparation and serving as second chair at trial
*   Communicating effectively with clients, opposing counsel, experts, and court personnel

Qualifications:
*   Licensed attorney
*   Strong written and verbal communication skills
*   Strong research and drafting skills
*   Willingness to learn quickly and take initiative
*   Ability to work independently while also functioning well as part of a team
*   Good time management and ability to manage deadlines in a fast-paced practice
*   Interest in developing real litigation and courtroom experience early in career

We are committed to retaining talented professionals and helping them grow into strong advocates. Compensation includes competitive base pay depending on experience, along with bonus and incentive compensation paid separately twice a year upon achievement of performance goals.
