Opportunity

Our client, a well-established and growing litigation practice, is seeking a Civil Litigation Attorney to join its team. This opportunity is ideal for an attorney with civil litigation experience who is interested in handling a diverse caseload involving transportation, aviation, construction, HOA/community association, professional liability, and general liability matters.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to take ownership of cases and work directly with clients from initial evaluation through resolution.

Responsibilities

  • Manage a diverse civil litigation caseload from inception through resolution.
  • Conduct legal research, factual investigations, and case evaluations.
  • Draft pleadings, motions, briefs, discovery, and other litigation documents.
  • Take and defend depositions.
  • Manage written discovery and expert-related matters.
  • Participate in mediations, arbitrations, hearings, and trial preparation.
  • Develop case strategy and negotiate settlements.

  • Deposition experience preferred.
  • Ability to independently manage cases and competing deadlines.
  • Excellent client-service and communication skills.

This is not simply a "paper-pushing" litigation position.

The ideal candidate is an attorney who enjoys litigation, wants meaningful responsibility, and is interested in becoming a well-rounded civil litigator. An attorney with a current, good standing license in the state they practice and a foundation in insurance defense, general liability, construction, transportation, or professional liability could be particularly well positioned for this opportunity.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This position offers an opportunity to build a diversified civil litigation practice while working on sophisticated matters across multiple industries. The ideal candidate will have meaningful case responsibility, direct client interaction, and opportunities for continued professional growth.

Candidates with experience in transportation/trucking, aviation, construction, HOA/community associations, professional liability, insurance defense, or general liability are encouraged to apply.

Compensation: Competitive and commensurate with experience, with a comprehensive benefits package and potential bonus opportunities.

To Apply: Please submit a resume outlining your civil litigation experience and relevant practice background.
