Associate Attorney (Full-Time Remote position)

Role Description

This full-time Associate Attorney would be based at our Birmingham, Alabama office, which currently has a partial office-optional policy. We would consider allowing for a remote work option from a different city under certain circumstances.

The role will require and will present the opportunity to further develop the research, writing, and analytical skills necessary to address complex issues and cases. The Associate Attorney’s involvement in complex litigation will be balanced with early experience actively litigating smaller cases that provide opportunities to interact with client stakeholders and build confidence advocating in negotiation, the discovery process, and the courtroom.
