Job description

Civil Litigation Associate - Premium Disputes Firm

Location : NY + Major U.S. Markets

Experience : 3-6 Years

Salary Range : $260,000 - $420,000 + Discretionary Bonus

Think Conventional Litigation is Dead? You're Right.

We're not your typical law firm. While others chase billable hours, we solve impossible problems. While they practice law, we practice warfare—intellectual warfare that dismantles opponents and delivers victories our clients didn't think were possible.

What We Do (And Why It Matters)

High-Stakes Disputes That Matter : When Fortune 500 companies, governments, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals face their most critical legal battles, they call us. Criminal defense, regulatory enforcement, internal investigations, complex commercial litigation, class actions, judgment enforcement, asset recovery—if it's sophisticated and the stakes are astronomical, we're there.

Global Reach, Local Impact : Our cross-border teams operate seamlessly across continents. When Latin America explodes with opportunity, when Middle Eastern markets shift overnight, when China presents new challenges—we're already there, already ahead, already winning.

Who We Want (No Mediocrity Allowed)

The Non-Negotiables :

  • JD from ABA-approved law school (2019-2022 graduation)
  • Exceptional writing, drafting, and editing capabilities
  • Intellectual aggressiveness balanced with strategic thinking
  • Global mindset and cultural adaptability

The Differentiators :

  • Judicial clerkships and trial experience (serious advantage)
  • Proven ability to think beyond conventional legal solutions
  • Comfort with ambiguity and complex, evolving situations
  • Genuine passion for solving business problems through legal innovation
  • Why This Opportunity is Different

    Real Meritocracy : Our bonus system rewards impact, not just hours. Excel at business development, bring unique solutions, build lasting client relationships—and watch your compensation reflect your contribution.

    Immediate Value Creation : No document review purgatory. No "paying dues." From day one, you're solving real problems for real clients with real consequences.

    Unparalleled Training : The legal products we deliver are cutting-edge because they have to be. Our training evolves constantly, keeping you ahead of market trends and legal innovations.

    Career Trajectory : Our alumni lead major corporations, sit on federal benches, and run government agencies. This isn't just a job—it's a launching pad.

    The Culture (Not for Everyone)

    We admit it : our approach isn't traditional. We demand intellectual rigor, creative problem-solving, and the ability to collaborate across time zones and cultures. We expect you to think one step ahead, to address clients' entire problems, not just their legal issues.

    What We Offer :

  • Non-hierarchical environment where ideas matter more than seniority
  • Unlimited support and resources to achieve excellence
  • Diverse, inclusive teams that generate breakthrough solutions
  • The chance to work on cases that reshape industries and jurisdictions
  • What We Expect :

  • Intellectual curiosity that drives constant learning
  • Ability to balance civility with aggressive advocacy
  • Comfort with high-pressure, high-visibility situations
  • Commitment to pushing boundaries and setting new standards
  • The Work (Prepare to Be Challenged)

    Every case is unique. Every client presents novel challenges. You'll handle disputes involving cutting-edge technology, complex financial instruments, international regulatory frameworks, and business models that didn't exist five years ago.

    You'll work with teams that include former prosecutors, ex-government officials, industry specialists, and cultural experts. You'll argue in courts across multiple jurisdictions, negotiate with regulators in different countries, and develop strategies that account for political, economic, and legal variables most lawyers never consider.

    Application Process (Straightforward, No Games)

    We read every application carefully. We make decisions based on merit, potential, and fit. Come prepared with a clear understanding of our work, our values, and your career objectives.

    Required Materials :

  • Cover letter explaining why this role aligns with your goals
  • Resume highlighting relevant experience
  • Law school transcript
  • Writing sample demonstrating analytical capability
  • Selection Philosophy : This is reciprocal. We're evaluating you; you're evaluating us. We want candidates who will thrive here, contribute immediately, and build lasting careers.

    Compensation & Benefits

    Base Salary : $260,000 - $420,000 (based on experience and qualifications)

    Discretionary Bonus : Performance-based, rewarding measurable contributions

    Benefits : Comprehensive healthcare, life insurance, HSA / FSA, wellness programs

    Ready to Redefine Your Career?

    If conventional law firm life leaves you uninspired, if you're ready to tackle the most complex disputes in the global marketplace, if you want to join a team that values innovation over tradition—we want to hear from you.

    Apply now and discover what happens when exceptional legal talent meets unlimited opportunity.
