  • 1–8 years of solid litigation experience, including case strategy, depositions, and trial preparation
  • Ability to independently manage a full caseload, from discovery through trial
  • Familiarity with litigation timekeeping and billing systems

What you get

  • Base salary ranging from $100,000-145,000 annually
  • Annual billable hours bonus ranging from $10,000 and aggregating with $7,500 for every additional tier
  • Comprehensive benefits coverage with plans available at zero employee cost
  • 401(k) program with a 100% match on the first 3% contributed and a 50% match on the following 4-5%

Worth weighing

  • The role emphasizes a strong focus on trial work and litigation, which may not appeal to those looking for a more transactional legal environment.
  • The posting does not specify the firm's approach to work-life balance beyond flexible arrangements, which could vary by team or case load.
  • No specific details on the firm's culture beyond a collaborative, people-first approach, which may require further exploration during interviews.
