Litigation Attorney

Transportation Litigation Attorney | Baltimore, MD (Hybrid) | $100,000 to $275,000+ base | Transportation and Logistics Defense

Somewhere on the Beltway, a tractor trailer has just jackknifed. Before the road reopens, someone has to secure the black box data, the dashcam footage and the driver logs.

On this team, that call comes to you.

I'm recruiting for an Am Law 100 defense firm with offices state wide. Their Baltimore office needs Transportation Litigation Attorneys. More than one.

Why this team

• Clients are leading transportation and logistics companies.
• The work covers land, sea and air. Baltimore has a port, an airport and some of the busiest freight routes on the East Coast. It's a good city to have all three.
• You get in early. The firm advises clients while accidents and investigations are still unfolding, so you see the evidence while it's fresh.
• The ceiling is high. This group has taken client matters all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
• You run cases from inception, with minimal supervision.

The numbers

• They're hiring across levels, so the band is wide on purpose:
• Associates (1 to 6+ years): $100,000 to $165,000
• Senior Counsel/Of Counsel (5+ years): $140,000 to $215,000
• Partners (7+ years): $190,000 to $275,000+
• Discretionary and performance based bonuses
• Student loan repayment assistance
• Hybrid working

What you'll need

• Admission to the Maryland bar
• Ideally 3 to 7 years of litigation experience. Outside that range? They've said every level can apply, so call me.
• Sharp writing. You'll send a writing sample, so pick the brief you're proudest of.
• Trial experience helps. It isn't required.
