Construction Litigation Associate | Charleston, SC | $150,000 to $320,000 DOE

Good construction litigators get noticed. At this firm, they get promoted.

• I'm Clark Pollins at Distinct Recruitment, recruiting on behalf of a strong regional law firm in Charleston.
• They hire people they expect to grow. Then they hand them the clients, the cases and the visibility to actually do it.

Why people build careers here .

• Promotion is a path you can see. Associates move up on the strength of their work. [Add a real example if the firm is happy to share, such as recent promotions to partner.]
• Your name goes on things. Client calls, expert strategy, depositions, motions you argued yourself. That's what a platform looks like.
• Charleston keeps building. Every project brings a contract, a deadline and the occasional fight about both. The practice stays busy and steady.

The work

• Defect, delay, payment and contract disputes between owners, contractors and subcontractors
• Critical path schedules. Retainage. Differing site conditions. Change order logs that tell a very different story from the contract. If that list makes you want to open the file, you're who they want.
• Site visits. Occasionally in boots.

About that salary range

• It's wide because the firm is hiring at two levels.
• Mid level associates will sit toward the lower end. Senior associates ready to run cases from intake to trial sit toward the top.

You might be the one if

• You have 2 to 8 years of litigation experience
• You're admitted in South Carolina, or eligible
• You can turn a 400 page spec book into three sentences a juror will remember
• Construction isn't in your title yet. Insurance defense with construction files, real estate litigation, surety or design professional work all count here.
