Defense Litigation Associate Attorney

Strategic Recruitment Solutions

Job Description

Job Description

** Defense Litigation Associate | 2–5 Years | Hybrid **

Are you ready to move beyond supporting the litigation process and begin playing a more active role in shaping it?

We are seeking a civil litigation associate who wants substantive case involvement, thoughtful mentorship, and the opportunity to develop greater independence. In this role, you will work with seasoned trial attorneys on complex defense matters involving professional liability, technical issues, and significant exposure.

Associates are trusted to engage meaningfully throughout the life of a case—from evaluating claims and developing strategy to handling discovery, preparing witnesses, taking depositions, and appearing at hearings. The firm provides the guidance and resources necessary to help attorneys sharpen their judgment while steadily expanding their responsibilities.

** The Role **

  • Analyze claims and assist in developing defense strategies
  • Prepare substantive pleadings, briefs, and motions
  • Oversee discovery and maintain momentum across assigned matters
  • Conduct and defend depositions
  • Assist with witness preparation and hearing strategy
  • Communicate with clients regarding case status and key developments
  • Take on greater ownership as your experience and confidence grow

** What the Firm Offers **

  • Substantive involvement in sophisticated litigation
  • Close access to highly experienced trial attorneys
  • Deliberate mentorship and ongoing professional development
  • Opportunities to strengthen courtroom, deposition, and case-management skills
  • A collegial team that values initiative and sound judgment
  • Hybrid scheduling flexibility
  • A clear path toward greater autonomy and responsibility

** Preferred Background **

  • Two to five years of civil litigation experience
  • Prior defense experience is a plus
  • Hands-on exposure to discovery, depositions, and substantive motion practice
  • Strong legal research, writing, and analytical abilities
  • The organizational skills to manage competing matters and deadlines
  • A proactive approach and genuine interest in becoming a stronger, more well-rounded litigator

For an attorney seeking challenging work, accessible mentorship, and the opportunity to become more deeply involved in case strategy and execution, this role offers a compelling next step.

** All inquiries will be handled confidentially. **
