The Opportunity 

The firm is now seeking a Senior Associate litigator to step into a high-responsibility role working directly with partners on complex and demanding matters. This is not a volume-driven role. It is suited for a lawyer who: 

• Takes true ownership of matters 


• Is comfortable operating with significant autonomy 


• Can manage sophisticated issues with minimal oversight 


• Has the flexibility to accommodate long hours when matters require it 

You will work across a broad range of high-level disputes, including: 

• Complex commercial litigation 


• Business and shareholder disputes 


• Securities and fraud matters 


• International arbitration 


• IP disputes 


• Class actions 


• Antitrust litigation 

This role offers direct partner access, meaningful responsibility, and the opportunity to be a core contributor on matters typically handled at the top of the market. 

What Makes This Role Different 

• Remote platform with no rigid office requirements 


• Lean teams; your work is substantive, not layered through multiple levels 


• Direct exposure to sophisticated clients and decision-makers 


• High level of trust, responsibility, and autonomy 


• Work that is strategic, not administrative 

Required Qualifications: 

• JD from an ABA-accredited law school 


• Licensed and in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction 


• 7+ years of experience in complex litigation 

Preferred Experience: 

• Background at an Am Law 100 or similarly sophisticated firm 


• Experience running key components of matters independently 


• Comfort interfacing directly with clients 


• Ability to manage fast-moving, high-pressure matters 

Personal Traits We Value: 

• Ownership mentality. You treat matters as your responsibility 


• Sound judgment and business sense 


• Responsiveness and reliability 


• Flexibility when urgent matters demand additional time
