Civil Litigator - First Chair

Full-time

Potomac Law Group

We are seeking an experienced Civil Litigator with significant first chair trial experience to join our team.

This role is ideal for a seasoned litigator who has led cases end-to-end—developing case strategy, managing teams, and serving as lead counsel through trial and resolution. At PLG, you will find a firm intentionally built to support experienced attorneys:

  • A national firm without geographic constraints
  • The autonomy to manage and grow your practice strategically
  • A collaborative environment that encourages cross-practice client development
  • Robust operational support, including experienced litigation paralegals across jurisdictions, billing and finance professionals, administrative support, and a dedicated marketing team aligned with your practice goals

Qualifications

  • Significant first-chair trial experience in commercial litigation
  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex matters from inception through resolution
  • A portable or developing book of business is preferred
  • Strong leadership, client management, and strategic thinking skills
  • Admission to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction

If you bring meaningful trial experience and are actively building or maintaining a commercial litigation practice, we welcome the opportunity to connect. Please email Marlene Laro at ***email_hidden***.
