Job Description
Junior Plaintiff-Side Litigation Attorney
This is a strong opportunity for a junior attorney who is hungry for substantive responsibility and courtroom experience. The position offers exposure to the full lifecycle of plaintiff-side matters rather than limiting the Associate to research and drafting.

The Associate Attorney will be involved throughout the life of a matter, from evaluating prospective claims and communicating with potential clients through pre-litigation, litigation, mediation, settlement, and trial.
