Civil Litigation Attorney

Pay: $85,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year

Why this is a great opportunity

• Join a firm with real courtroom depth — our attorneys have tried hundreds of cases, and you'll have every opportunity to build that same track record
• Meaningful, complex civil litigation work from day one — discovery, depositions, hearings, mediations, and trials
• A collaborative team environment where you're supported, not siloed
• Clear path to develop your litigation skills with increasing courtroom responsibility
• Performance-based bonus potential
• Flexibility to work from home 1 to 2 days per week on a floating basis

Location: This role is primarily in-person to support active court appearances and client work — with the added perk of regular remote flexibility. Our associates typically work from home 1 to 2 days per week on a floating schedule, giving you meaningful work-life balance without sacrificing courtroom access.

Note: This role requires at least 1 to 2 years of civil litigation experience. Candidates must be licensed to practice law and have a working knowledge of the litigation process from inception through resolution, including court appearances and motion practice.
