Civil Litigation Attorney

Job Description

Civil Litigation Attorney: 3-6+ Years


We are seeking an experienced Civil Litigation Attorney to join a diverse litigation practice in the Chicago suburbs. This position will work directly with a senior attorney whose practice spans complex civil and commercial litigation, real estate disputes, professional liability, business matters, and select plaintiff-side litigation.


This is not a narrowly defined litigation position. We are looking for an attorney who wants exposure to a variety of matters and is comfortable representing both businesses and individuals depending on the case.


What We're Looking For:

• 3-6+ years of civil litigation experience
• Strong litigation experience is the primary requirement
• Real estate litigation experience is highly preferred
• Experience with commercial or business disputes is strongly valued
• Additional experience involving professional liability, wrongful death, nursing home litigation, or other complex civil matters is a plus
• Experience handling matters in Cook County is highly desirable
• Illinois Bar admission
• Strong legal research, writing, discovery, deposition, and motion practice skills
• Ability to independently manage matters while working directly with an experienced senior attorney

The Practice:


The attorney joining this practice should expect variety. Matters may include:

• Real estate litigation and property disputes
• Commercial and business litigation
• Contract disputes
• Professional liability
• Wrongful death
• Nursing home litigation
• Other complex civil litigation
• Arbitration, mediation, and courtroom proceedings

Depending on the matter, the firm may represent either the plaintiff or the defense.


What Makes This Opportunity Different


We are looking for a motivated, entrepreneurial attorney who wants to become a well-rounded litigator rather than spend their career handling one narrow category of cases. You will work directly with a highly experienced attorney on sophisticated matters while also being expected to take ownership of your cases, interact directly with clients, develop strategy, and continue building your courtroom experience.


Additional:

• Approximately 1,700-1,800 billable hours annually.
• Generous base salary with substantial bonus potential.
• Hybrid work setting.
• Company vehicle for travel.
• Full benefits.
