Description:

The Opportunity:
The firm is now seeking a Junior Litigation Associate to step into a high-responsibility role working directly with partners and senior associates on complex and demanding matters. This is not a volume-driven role.

What You'll Do:
It is suited for a lawyer who:

Takes true ownership of their work
Is comfortable operating with growing autonomy
Can work through and research 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
Arbitration and alternative dispute resolution
C-Suite / Partner level employment disputes
Business and shareholder disputes
Securities and fraud matters
Defamation, privacy, and reputational risk matters
Disputes involving intellectual property, data privacy, cybersecurity, and trade secrets

What We're Looking For:

J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school; law school transcript required
Licensed and in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction; preferred: NY, CA, DE, IL, DC, FL or TX
2–3 years of experience in complex litigation at a top commercial litigation firm
Strong academic record, top of the class at a well-regarded law school
The ideal candidate would have a federal clerkship combined with a summer associate position and 1–2 years of experience at a top complex commercial litigation firm. Where there is no clerkship, candidates should have received and accepted a return offer following their summer associate position.
1–3 years at one of the top commercial litigation powerhouse firms. This refers to firms with a strong record of success in bet-the-company or high-value litigation
Meaningful hands-on litigation experience beyond legal research and memo writing. Stand-up experience in court, arbitration, or adversarial proceedings, including oral argument, examining witnesses, or presenting at hearings, is a strong plus.
Deposition and trial experience preferred
Breadth of experience across different subject matters and types of cases
Exposure to and experience using AI tools such as Claude or Harvey is a bonus
