A bit about us:

We are a full-service law firm built by attorneys who wanted a more thoughtful and flexible way to practice law. Our work spans a broad range of legal matters, and we approach each engagement with a focus on practical judgment, collaboration, and efficiency. We value clear thinking over rigid process and encourage lawyers to understand the broader context of a client’s goals. Our teams work closely across disciplines, allowing us to adapt as matters evolve. Internally, we operate with a collegial mindset, open communication, and respect for different perspectives, believing that strong relationships and sound judgment lead to better outcomes for both clients and colleagues.

Why join us?

We provide an environment where lawyers can develop meaningful practices without being confined to narrow roles or predetermined paths. Attorneys are trusted with responsibility early, work directly with experienced colleagues, and gain exposure to substantive matters and clients. We value initiative, curiosity, and practical problem-solving, and we support lawyers who want to shape their careers thoughtfully over time. Our culture is professional and grounded, with an emphasis on flexibility, balance, and long-term sustainability. Good ideas are welcomed regardless of seniority, and success is measured by quality of work, collaboration, and personal growth—not by adherence to tradition alone.

Job Details

We are seeking a Litigation Associate to join a collaborative litigation practice handling a diverse mix of disputes across multiple industries and subject matters. In this role, we will provide meaningful responsibility from the outset, including direct client interaction, substantive motion practice, case strategy development, and exposure to all phases of litigation.

We value attorneys who are intellectually curious, proactive, and eager to develop into well-rounded litigators. This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who enjoys challenging legal work, wants significant hands-on experience, and is looking to build a long-term litigation career within a team-oriented environment.

Responsibilities

Handle litigation matters through all stages of case development and resolution
Draft pleadings, motions, briefs, discovery requests, responses, and legal memoranda
Conduct legal research and develop case strategy recommendations
Manage discovery, document review, and case organization
Participate in depositions, hearings, mediations, arbitrations, and trial preparation
Communicate directly with clients, opposing counsel, experts, and witnesses
Collaborate with attorneys across multiple practice disciplines on complex matters
Maintain case deadlines and manage multiple active matters simultaneously

Qualifications

2-6 years of litigation experience preferred
Strong legal research, writing, and analytical abilities
Experience drafting pleadings, motions, discovery, and legal memoranda
Ability to manage multiple assignments in a fast-paced environment
Strong verbal communication and interpersonal skills
Demonstrated initiative and willingness to take ownership of matters
Judicial clerkship experience is helpful but not required

Requirements

Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school
Active bar admission in either Maine or New Hampshire
Additional admissions in other New England jurisdictions are preferred
Strong professional judgment and ability to work effectively both independently and collaboratively
Commitment to providing practical, client-focused legal solutions
