About Our Client
Our client is a small but rapidly-growing law firm committed to delivering exceptional legal counsel while fostering a culture where attorneys can build long, sustainable careers. They believe that the best client service comes from lawyers who are energized, not burned out – and the practice has been structured accordingly.
The Opportunity
Our client is seeking a motivated Associate Attorney to join their litigation team on a potential partnership track.

Partnership-track associates are expected to bill 1,700-1,800 hours annually.
You’ll work alongside experienced partners on complex matters, take on meaningful responsibility early, and have a genuine path to partnership for those who demonstrate the talent and drive to get there.

• Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, and legal memoranda

• Contribute to business development efforts (preferred, not required)
What We’re Looking For
Required:

• 3-8 years of litigation experience, with a meaningful focus on real estate, construction, or commercial disputes
• Strong research, writing, and oral advocacy skills
• Self-starter who takes ownership of their matters and their career
Preferred:

What We Offer
