About this role

We are looking for a Securities Litigation Associate with 3-4+ years of experience to join one of the nation's top plaintiff securities firms and prosecute high-profile class action cases on behalf of institutional investors. This is a growth hire for a team that litigates against the largest defense firms in the country — we need a high-caliber, creative attorney who is passionate about plaintiff-side work.

What will you be doing?

  • Litigating securities class action cases through the full case lifecycle — from complaint through resolution
  • Drafting briefs, motions, and legal arguments with exceptional writing and analytical rigor
  • Developing creative legal theories and arguments to advance cases against major defense firms
  • Collaborating closely with partners as a true team member on case strategy
  • Conducting legal research on evolving securities case law and applying it to active matters

Key Requirements

  • 3-4+ years of securities litigation experience (defense-side experience welcome and encouraged)
  • Exceptional brief writing skills — this is non-negotiable
  • Strong analytical skills with the creativity to develop novel legal arguments
  • Genuine interest in plaintiff-side work representing institutional investors
  • Stable employment history — no job hopping; high-caliber firm background preferred
