Description:

Position Overview:
We are seeking a thoughtful and ambitious Litigation Associate with litigation experience to join our growing firm. We are looking for lawyers that do not need to be and do not want to be micromanaged. We offer a variety of different kinds of work, ranging from complex litigation in federal court and business court to smaller collection matters. We are looking for lawyers who want to take part in large litigations as part of a team, and who want at the same time to run their own smaller cases.

Our core values are courage, candor, and persistence. Part of the goal of the firm is to develop lawyers who are attracted to those core values and help them grow into lawyers that are fearless in litigation, radically honest with their clients, and never stop trying to figure the problems out.

We are looking for lawyers that want to grow in these ways as practitioners and who are ambitious to build their own books of business. We want to hire someone who wants to be an equity partner here one day. Experience in complex bankruptcy matters is a plus, as that practice area is a share of the firm's business, but that experience is not a requirement as there is plenty of commercial litigation work to do here.

Key Responsibilities:

Case Management & Strategy: Manage a diverse caseload of commercial disputes (e.g., breach of contract, partnership disputes, business torts) from inception through trial or settlement.
Pleadings & Motions: Draft and prepare complex pleadings, motions to dismiss, summary judgment motions, and appellate briefs.
Discovery & Depositions: Formulate and execute comprehensive discovery plans, propound and respond to discovery requests, manage large-scale e-discovery, and conduct and defend depositions of fact witnesses and expert witnesses.
Courtroom Advocacy: Regularly appear in state and federal courts for status conferences, motion hearings, and oral arguments. Assist with, or second-chair, trials and arbitrations.
Client Advising: Act as a primary point of contact for clients, providing clear risk assessments, legal strategies, and regular case updates.

What we offer:

Competitive salary commensurate with experience plus performance-based bonuses, including quarterly bonuses based on hours.
Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k match, and parental leave).
Clear, structured path to equity partnership with mentorship from senior partners.
Professional development opportunities, including budget for bar association memberships and personalized business development initiatives.
