Civil Defense Attorney - Casualty - 5+ Yrs Experience - Philadelphia, PA

Full-time

Marshall Dennehey

Join a litigation team where collaboration matters, mentorship is intentional, and your growth as an attorney is a firm-wide priority.

The Opportunity

Marshall Dennehey, P.C., a nationally recognized Am Law 200 civil defense law firm with more than 60 years of dedicated service, is seeking a Civil Defense Attorney to join our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania office . This opportunity is ideal for an attorney with 5+ years of litigation experience to join the fast-paced Casualty team.

Our practice is team-based and highly collaborative, offering meaningful client interaction and a clear path for professional development and practice growth .

Your Development Matters

At Marshall Dennehey, we invest in our attorneys.

Through hands-on experience, continuous feedback, and individualized goal-setting, you will gain the confidence and capability to grow into full case management at your own pace.

Strong analytical thinking, legal writing, research, and communication skills are highly valued—and continuously refined—within our litigation groups.

Firm Culture

We pride ourselves on a diverse, inclusive, and open-door culture where ideas are welcomed, collaboration is encouraged, and attorneys at all levels have direct access to leadership. Our attorneys thrive because they are supported.

In return, we offer:

  • A competitive salary
  • Multiple financial bonus opportunities throughout the year
  • A comprehensive benefits package
  • The firm-funded Marshall Associate Advantage™ Lifestyle Account
  • Long-term stability and a clear future with the firm
