Job Description
** Step Into a Real Litigation Role — Not Just a Caseload**
** Litigation Associate (Defense) | 2–5 Years | Boutique Practice | Hybrid**
A well-regarded boutique litigation firm is seeking a Defense Litigation Associate ready for more than just volume work. This is an opportunity to step into a practice where associates are trusted to take ownership, contribute to strategy, and develop real depth in a specialized area of defense litigation.
This role is ideal for someone with a solid civil litigation foundation who wants to move beyond a task-driven workflow and into a more thoughtful, hands-on practice alongside experienced trial lawyers.
The firm handles complex defense matters involving licensed professionals and technical issues, offering a clear path to building long-term expertise in professional liability and related litigation.
** Why This Role Stands Out**
- Manage your own caseload with meaningful partner support
- Direct involvement in case strategy and client interaction
- Hands-on experience with depositions, discovery, hearings, and motion practice
- Mentorship without micromanagement
- Hybrid schedule with flexibility
- Boutique environment focused on high-quality, strategic work
- Clear path to developing a niche in professional liability defense
** What They're Looking For**
- 2–5 years of civil litigation experience
- Defense experience preferred (professional liability, healthcare, insurance, or complex litigation)
- Experience handling depositions, written discovery, and motion practice
- Strong writing and analytical skills
- Someone looking for greater ownership, accountability, and long-term growth
** Interested in stepping into a role where your judgment—not just your billables—matters?**
Apply directly or reach out for a confidential conversation. Even if you're just exploring what's next, I'm happy to share insight on the role and the market.
