Litigation Attorney

We are partnering with a highly regarded Washington, D.C.–based litigation boutique known for handling sophisticated, high-stakes matters for leading companies and institutions. The firm is looking to add a junior to midlevel associate (2–4 years) who is eager to take on meaningful responsibility early and develop into a true trial lawyer. This is an ideal opportunity for associates coming from larger platforms who are seeking more hands-on experience and a clearer path to becoming a well‑rounded litigator . The firm is comprised of former Big Law attorneys and judicial clerks and operates with lean teams, giving associates direct exposure to strategy, clients, and courtroom work from day one. Associates are regularly involved in all phases of complex litigation, including managing written discovery, taking and defending depositions, drafting and arguing dispositive motions, and engaging directly with opposing counsel. The practice includes a mix of commercial litigation and other high‑profile matters, offering both substantive depth and variety. From a career perspective, the firm is intentional about developing associates into independent, strategic litigators with the ability to run matters and advise clients early in their careers. This is a strong platform for someone looking to build courtroom experience and long‑term growth in the DC market. Compensation is competitive with the DC boutique market , starting at $188,000 depending on experience, and includes a comprehensive benefits package.
