We provide representation and consulting to thousands of licensed professionals, never representing investors or broker-dealers.

Position Summary

As an associate attorney, you will gain significant experience in complex civil litigation, arbitration, and appellate advocacy while working at a growing firm with a well-established reputation. To excel, you’ll thrive in a fast-paced, startup environment, work in-office, full-time for at least three months to build expertise and team synergy and demonstrate reliability and commitment from day one.

You will manage the substantive and procedural aspects of civil litigation, arbitration, and regulatory proceedings across state, federal, and appellate courts, as well as private forums like FINRA Dispute Resolution. You’ll handle customer and industry disputes, negotiate with top-tier financial institutions, and represent clients in regulatory inquiries and on-the-record interviews (OTRs). Absent prior experience, you will have the opportunity to learn the financial services industry while being guided by industry experts. Supported by experienced colleagues and a dedicated staff, you’ll advocate for innovative interpretations of outdated regulations, arguing in state, federal district, and circuit courts and against private individuals, entities, the SEC, the National Adjudicatory Council, and organizations, such as the CFP® Board. If you have interest in pursuing a lucrative career in finance, financial regulation, financial services or securities litigation, this is the job for you. Our collaborative team successfully guides and mentors litigators from the start.
