Associate

Associate Attorney (Litigation) | Midtown NYC | $135K–$200K + Bonus | No Billable Hours We are partnering with a nationally recognized plaintiff-side litigation firm—the largest in the country within its niche practice area—to hire an Associate Attorney (1–7+ years) for its Midtown Manhattan office. This is a standout opportunity for attorneys looking to transition out of insurance defense into high-impact, meaningful litigation—without sacrificing compensation or work-life balance. About the Role This position focuses on a specialized area of plaintiff-side personal injury litigation involving institutional accountability cases. The firm exclusively represents individuals in complex, high-stakes matters—handling cases that are both legally sophisticated and deeply impactful. You will work closely with a highly accomplished, Ivy League–trained attorney in a collaborative, mentorship-driven environment with real opportunity for growth. What You’ll Do Legal research and writing (motions, briefs, memoranda) Manage and participate in discovery and case development Draft pleadings, motions, and litigation documents Assist with and participate in trial preparation and trial work Work toward case resolution, including high-value settlements Collaborate with senior attorneys on litigation strategy The Work (Why It’s Different) This is the definition of “doing well by doing good.” The firm is widely recognized for handling high-profile, high-value litigation against major institutions, including: Eight-figure jury verdicts in cases involving institutional misconduct Participation in multi-billion dollar settlements involving thousands of claimants A track record of over $1B recovered for clients nationwide This is not volume-based litigation—it’s strategic, high-impact work that drives real accountability and systemic change . Why This Role Stands Out Base salary $135K–$200K (depending on experience) 401(k) with 5% match Excellent work-life balance for litigation Clear mentorship and advancement path Work alongside a top-tier, highly credentialed team We’ve made dozens of placements here, and feedback has been consistently outstanding—this is widely regarded as a top place to work in this space. Who This Is For 1–7+ years of civil litigation experience Ideal background: insurance defense, defense litigation, or general civil litigation Strong writing, analytical, and advocacy skills Interest in transitioning into plaintiff-side, purpose-driven work Why Make the Move If you’re currently in insurance defense and feeling burned out by billables, carrier-driven work, or lack of impact, this offers a very different path: Work on fewer, higher-value cases Be part of litigation that actually matters Maintain a sustainable pace with strong compensation #J-18808-Ljbffr Patagon Search
