Job Description

Job Description

The salary for this role is $154K - $185K/Year

We are looking for a Complex Commercial Litigation Associate with 4–8 years of post-JD experience to our clients award-winning Securities Litigation, Arbitration, Regulation, and Investigations group in Madison, NJ. You'll defend Fortune 500 financial institutions in high-stakes commercial litigation — this is a rare opportunity to do sophisticated bank-side work at a firm whose specialty practice was named NJ Law Journal Litigation Department of the Year in 2020, with a real partnership track from within.

What will you be doing?

Defending banks and financial institutions in lender liability, commercial finance, consumer finance (FDCPA/TILA/RESPA), and securities litigation in NJ state and federal courts

Managing full-lifecycle litigation: pleadings, discovery, depositive motions, depositions, and trial preparation

Handling parallel regulatory matters (CFPB, OCC, DOBI) that intersect with active litigation

Working directly with partners who lead bank-side practices for Fortune 500 clients

Contributing to business development with origination bonus opportunities

Key Requirements

Bank-side (defense) financial services litigation as your primary practice area — not generalist commercial lit with occasional bank matters

Substantive litigation responsibility including depositions and motion practice (not just document review)

JD with strong law school GPA; active NJ bar or ability to waive in

Steady employment history — no job hopping (more than 2 firms in 5 years is a disqualifier)

Must commit to 3 days/week in the Madison, NJ office
