Litigation Associate

Lateral Link
Washington, DC Full Time
POSTED ON 7/29/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 8/27/2026

A repeat client and prestigious full-service law has an immediate need for a Litigation Associate to join their dynamic group.


The group is continuing to grow their complex litigation practice group.

The ideal candidate will have 1-4 years of litigation experience at a law firm or clerkship.

Exposure to bankruptcy and/or creditors’ rights is helpful.


The candidate does not have to have bankruptcy experience but since they do 100% bankruptcy/creditors’ rights litigation, the candidate does need to be okay focusing their practice to that.


The group works on sophisticated bankruptcy matters and on the plaintiff’s side.

This is an opportunity to work directly with their partners and there are not layers. There’s no tiered work product either – a junior associate is drafting a document and sending it directly to the partner. Associates get more responsibility than at other law firms.


· They have strong referral networks all around the world

· The firm offers a pleasant working environment and a lot of autonomy

· Market compensation

· Tight knit group

· Mentorship

· Minimal attrition

**Generous signing bonus


For immediate consideration, please apply through this posting or email your resume to vkrasna@laterallink.com
