Marshall Dennehey, P.C., a nationally recognized Am Law 200 civil defense law firm with more than 60 years of dedicated service, is seeking an Attorney to join our New Haven, CT office. This opportunity is ideal for an attorney with 2-5 years of litigation experience. Candidates should have an interest in medical malpractice defense. However, the associate hired will have the opportunity to work on health care and casualty cases.

Our practice is team-based and highly collaborative, offering meaningful client interaction and a clear path for professional development and practice growth.

Compensation range: $115,000 - $150,000

The posted compensation range for this position is based on several legitimate, non-discriminatory factors set by the Firm.

Your Development Matters

At Marshall Dennehey, we invest in our attorneys. While you are not expected to independently manage cases from inception through trial on day one, you will work closely with experienced shareholders and associates who are committed to mentoring and skill development.

Strong analytical thinking, legal writing, research, and communication skills are highly valued-and continuously refined-within our litigation groups.
