What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mass Tort Associate Attorney position at Burg Simpson Eldredge Hersh & Jardine, P.C.?
Burg Simpson is a national plaintiffs’ trial firm, and our Mass Tort Department handles some of the most complex, high-stakes litigation in the country. We’re looking for a litigation attorney ready to take on real responsibility — drafting that gets filed, strategy that shapes cases, and work that directly affects the lives of injured clients — while developing alongside trial lawyers who have tried these cases to verdict.
What You’ll Do
- Manage a caseload of mass tort and class action matters from intake through resolution.
- Conduct legal research, draft and argue motions, briefs, and pleadings, and be part of a team taking depositions.
- Work directly with senior trial attorneys to develop case strategy and tackle complex legal issues.
- Take an active role in discovery, motion practice, and trial preparation.
- Advocate for injured clients with skill, judgment, and genuine care.
What We’re Looking For
- 3–5 years of litigation experience, including personal injury (mass tort or class action experience a plus).
- Sharp legal research, writing, and analytical skills, and the instinct to advocate persuasively.
- Experience litigating in both state and federal court.
- A collaborative working style and the drive to learn from attorneys who’ve built this practice.
- Active license in good standing.
Why Burg Simpson
- Hands-on mentorship from accomplished trial lawyers, not sideline supervision.
- Substantive work and a clear path to develop as a litigator.
- The chance to make a real difference for people who’ve been harmed.
- Competitive pay and a full benefits package.
