This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced litigator who enjoys handling substantive, high-stakes disputes and wants meaningful responsibility, direct client interaction, and a clear path for professional growth. Unlike traditional construction defect practices, the firm's cases often involve complex legal and factual issues arising from major construction projects and significant commercial relationships. Responsibilities Manage complex construction and commercial litigation matters through all phases of litigation. Develop case strategy and work directly with clients on sophisticated disputes. Conduct and defend depositions, including expert and corporate representative depositions. Prepare and argue motions at hearings and court proceedings.

Candidates should possess exceptional research, writing, analytical, and advocacy skills, along with the ability to independently manage sophisticated cases while working collaboratively within a team‑oriented environment. Experience representing developers, owners, general contractors, subcontractors, or design professionals is highly preferred. While the firm is particularly interested in attorneys who have handled complex construction disputes involving large commercial, mixed‑use, infrastructure, or development projects, strong commercial litigators with transferable experience will also be considered. Trial experience, or a demonstrated desire to continue developing as a trial lawyer, is important. This position offers the opportunity to work on high‑value construction and business disputes that extend well beyond traditional construction defect litigation. The firm provides substantial client interaction, meaningful courtroom exposure, and hands‑on responsibility in sophisticated matters from day one.
