  • Real responsibility and influence on case strategy
  • Strong compensation up to $200K base bonus
  • Clear path to long-term growth and leadership
  • Collaborative, high-performance environment with serious mentorship

Job Details

This is a Senior Counsel position focused on complex, high-exposure litigation.

You will handle matters from early strategy through resolution, working closely with leadership on case development, motion practice, and trial preparation.

Practice exposure includes:

  • Complex commercial litigation
  • Fiduciary litigation
  • Professional malpractice
  • Real estate disputes
  • Construction defect
  • Insurance defense and coverage
  • Employment litigation
  • General tort litigation

Responsibilities:

  • Lead and manage sophisticated litigation matters
  • Draft and argue substantive motions, including dispositive motions
  • Take and defend depositions
  • Prepare cases for trial, including strategy and witness development
  • Work closely with clients on high-level legal issues
  • Mentor junior attorneys where appropriate

What We're Looking For

  • 6 years of litigation experience
  • Strong background in complex civil litigation (defense preferred)
  • Exceptional legal writing and analytical skills
  • Detail-oriented with the ability to manage high-level work product
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment
  • Trial experience or meaningful trial preparation experience is a plus

This is not a volume-based practice. This is a role for attorneys who want to do sophisticated, meaningful litigation and continue developing at a high level.

If that sounds like you, let's talk.
