Scarborough, ME Full Time
POSTED ON 6/5/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/4/2026
Commercial Litigation Associate Portland ME

A well-established and growing law firm with offices across New England and Washington, D.C. is seeking a talented Commercial Litigation Associate with 2-7 years of experience to join its dynamic and expanding litigation team. This is an exceptional opportunity for a driven attorney to work on sophisticated, high stakes matters for regional and national clients across a broad range of industries.

About Opportunity

Our Litigation Practice Group consists of over 40 attorneys with more than 30 years of trial experience, representing clients from 50 industries in matters spanning 42 states, 13 countries, and five Canadian provinces. Associates enjoy a uniquely high level of client interaction and early exposure to complex, challenging work at every stage of a case. We pride ourselves on a solutions-based approach, a collaborative culture, and a genuine commitment to developing talent from within.

What You Will Do

As a Commercial Litigation Associate, you will handle a broad range of matters from inception through resolution, including drafting pleadings, motions, and briefs, managing discovery, conducting depositions, and representing clients in court appearances, hearings, and mediations. You will collaborate closely with partners and senior attorneys on case strategy while maintaining strong client relationships and delivering high-quality legal counsel.

What We Are Looking For

We are seeking an attorney who is licensed in Maine and/or New Hampshire (or eligible to waive in), with 2-7 years of commercial litigation experience and a strong foundation in legal research, writing, and oral advocacy. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can manage cases and deadlines independently while thriving in a team-oriented environment. A judicial clerkship is a plus but not required.

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation and a generous benefits package including health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, paid time off, paid holidays, and retirement benefits
  • A supportive, collegial, and professionally rewarding work environment
  • Meaningful opportunities for growth, advancement, and early courtroom exposure
  • Access to complex and engaging litigation matters on behalf of clients across the country and around the world

This is a hybrid position based out of our renovated downtown Portland, ME headquarters, with consideration given to candidates in the Concord, NH market as well.

If you are a motivated commercial litigation professional ready to take your practice to the next level, we would love to hear from you. Send your resume to eric.vetter@gogpac.com
