Description:

We are not a firm where associates spend years behind a desk doing document review, endless discovery, or supporting someone else's caseload while waiting for courtroom opportunities. We are a plaintiff side, litigation-driven, trial-focused firm where attorneys are trusted with real responsibility, real clients, and real courtroom experience.

If you want to own your cases, sharpen your trial skills, build your reputation, and practice law at a high level—not just assist someone else's practice—this may be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Who We're Looking for:
We are seeking an Associate Attorney with at least 3 years of litigation experience who can confidently manage cases with minimal oversight and is ready to continue developing as a trial attorney. The ideal candidate is strategic, proactive, confident in the courtroom, and capable of moving cases from intake through resolution.

This is not a position for someone looking to simply “clock in.”

This is for someone who wants autonomy, growth, accountability, and the opportunity to become a highly skilled trial lawyer.

What Makes Us Different

Conduct depositions, hearings, mediations, and court appearances regularly
Draft and argue substantive motions
Work directly with clients, experts, and opposing counsel
Participate in trial preparation—and actually **first chair or second chair trials**
Have your judgment, strategy, and advocacy trusted and valued
Build your own practice and be rewarded for originating business
