Company Description

We are representing a premier, globally recognized law firm known for its elite litigation, regulatory, and corporate practices. The firm has grown significantly in recent years, investing heavily in its litigation group and expanding its national footprint. You’ll be joining one of the most respected complex litigation and environmental law teams in the country — known for handling high-stakes, high-impact matters across industries.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a motivated mid-level associate to gain direct trial exposure, work alongside nationally recognized partners, and develop a sophisticated litigation skill set in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.

What You Will Do

  • Conduct advanced legal research, draft briefs, and prepare for court appearances and trials.
  • Collaborate closely with senior partners and associates across multiple offices (San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington D.C.).
  • Take ownership of case strategy, discovery, motion practice, and client communications.
  • Receive ongoing mentorship and professional development opportunities through hands-on guidance from top-tier partners and senior associates.

Ideal Candidate Background

  • 3–5 years of litigation experience at a top-tier law firm (Am Law 50 or comparable).
  • Strong academic credentials from a top 30 law school (or top performance at another accredited institution).
  • Demonstrated experience in complex commercial litigation, regulatory matters, or environmental litigation.
  • Exceptional research, writing, and analytical skills.
  • Comfortable in a fast-moving, in-office team setting.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with a proactive, detail-oriented mindset.

  • Work Environment : Collaborative and high-performing in-office culture, with exposure to leading partners and clients across the U.S.
  • Why This Role Is Exciting :

  • Direct exposure to courtroom and trial work — not just research and writing.

  • Hands-on mentorship and career advancement opportunities within a rapidly growing litigation practice.
  • Join a firm that values excellence, professional growth, and meaningful client impact.
