Litigation Attorney

Litigation Attorney- Raleigh- Hybrid $135,000 to $300,000 DOE | Multiple practice groups

The most honest review of a law firm isn't on its website. It's what people say three months after they've joined.

I've placed a few litigators with this firm this year. I check in with all of them. They're loving it.

Who you'd be joining

• A full service law firm. I'm Clark Pollins at Distinct Recruitment, recruiting for them directly.
• They're actively growing their litigation practice groups. This is about building, not filling a gap someone left.
• Full service means clients can bring the firm the rest of their legal problems too. That tends to keep a litigation docket well fed.

Where you might fit

• Commercial and business litigation
• Insurance defense and insurance coverage
• Professional liability and medical malpractice
• Construction, real estate and products liability
• Employment litigation
• Personal injury
• Complex and catastrophic cases
• Appellate work
• General civil litigation

You don't need all of these. One or two, done properly, is plenty.

Why it could be worth the move

• A group that's growing has room in it. Room for responsibility, for client contact, for a say in where the practice goes next.
• With this many litigation groups under one roof, you can grow sideways as well as up if your interests shift.
• The attorneys I've already placed there are happy. That's worth more than any adjective I could write.

What they're after

• Litigation experience in one or more of the areas above
• Licensed and in good standing in North Carolina
• Comfortable running files and talking to clients
• Associates through to senior attorneys. Got a book of business? That changes the numbers. Read on.

The numbers

• $135,000 to $260,000 depending on experience. The range is wide because they're hiring at two levels: associates toward the lower end, senior associates toward the top.
• Bring a book of business and it can go up to $300,000. The size of the book sets where you land.
