Our client, a national plaintiffs' litigation firm representing individuals and families harmed by corporate wrongdoing, is currently seeking associate attorneys with a demonstrated commitment to plaintiff-side civil litigation. Torts, personal injury, medical malpractice, and product liability are preferred.

Their work is fast-paced, high-stakes, and emotionally compelling. They work closely with clients navigating devastating diagnoses and tragic losses, and they pride themselves on being relentless advocates in and out of the courtroom. This is a full-time in-office position with frequent travel.

As an Associate Attorney, you will quickly become responsible for handling cases. Case management responsibilities include written discovery, taking and defending depositions, drafting and arguing motions, and trial work as a second chair. Prior experience with these tasks is appreciated but not required.

Their work involves significant client contact, bringing them into families' lives during the most stressful time of their lives. Empathy and the ability to build rapport with people from varied backgrounds are keys to success in this position. Because of this, frequent travel is required.
