Civil Litigation Attorney

gpac

Civil Litigation Attorney

We are seeking an experienced Civil Litigation Attorney to join a diverse litigation practice in the Chicago suburbs. This position will work directly with a senior attorney whose practice spans complex civil and commercial litigation, real estate disputes, professional liability, business matters, and select plaintiff-side litigation.

This is not a narrowly defined litigation position. We are looking for an attorney who wants exposure to a variety of matters and is comfortable representing both businesses and individuals depending on the case.

What We're Looking For:

  • 3–6+ years of civil litigation experience
  • Strong litigation experience is the primary requirement
  • Real estate litigation experience is highly preferred
  • Experience with commercial or business disputes is strongly valued
  • Additional experience involving professional liability, wrongful death, nursing home litigation, or other complex civil matters is a plus
  • Experience handling matters in Cook County is highly desirable
  • Illinois Bar admission
  • Strong legal research, writing, discovery, deposition, and motion practice skills
  • Ability to independently manage matters while working directly with an experienced senior attorney

The Practice:

The attorney joining this practice should expect variety. Matters may include:

  • Real estate litigation and property disputes
  • Commercial and business litigation
  • Contract disputes
  • Professional liability
  • Wrongful death
  • Nursing home litigation
  • Other complex civil litigation
  • Arbitration, mediation, and courtroom proceedings

Depending on the matter, the firm may represent either the plaintiff or the defense.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

We are looking for a motivated, entrepreneurial attorney who wants to become a well-rounded litigator rather than spend their career handling one narrow category of cases.

You will work directly with a highly experienced attorney on sophisticated matters while also being expected to take ownership of your cases, interact directly with clients, develop strategy, and continue building your courtroom experience.

Additional:

  • Approximately 1,700–1,800 billable hours annually.
  • Generous base salary with substantial bonus potential.
  • Hybrid work setting.
  • Company vehicle for travel.
  • Full benefits.
