You just passed the Bar or you're early in your litigation journey, and you're ready to actually litigate, not wait your turn. Here, there's no hierarchy blocking you, no years-long wait before you touch a file, and no "junior associate" busywork. You'll get hands-on experience from day one, with partners who coach, train, and put you in the courtroom early. We're a boutique litigation firm built for attorneys who want to grow fast and do real work. If you want responsibility, autonomy, and the ability to influence outcomes, you'll thrive here.

WHO SHOULD APPLY
  • Newly licensed attorneys eager to learn and grow quickly
    • Experienced attorneys who want autonomy and trust
    • Strong writers with sharp analytical skills
    • Confident communicators who thrive under responsibility
    • Organized, driven, and committed to excellence


COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
• Entry Level (0-2 years post-bar): $85,000+ base salary
• Mid to Senior Level (3+ years litigation experience): $150,000+ base salary
(dependent on experience, skillset, and litigation track record)

    • 401(k) with match after one year
    • Hybrid schedule available after training, subject to Partner approval
