The Opportunity

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 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.

Salary range: $100,000 - $125,000

The posted salary range for this position is based on several legitimate, non-discriminatory factors set by the Firm. Marshall Dennehey is committed to ensuring equal pay opportunities for equal work regardless of gender, race, or any other category protected by federal, state, or local pay equity laws.

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. Through hands-on experience, continuous feedback, and individualized goal-setting, you will gain the confidence and capability to grow into full case management at your own pace.

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

Firm Culture

We pride ourselves on a diverse, inclusive, and open-door culture where ideas are welcomed, collaboration is encouraged, and attorneys at all levels have direct access to leadership. Our attorneys thrive because they are supported.

In return, we offer:

  • A comprehensive benefits package
  • The firm-funded Marshall Associate Advantage™ Lifestyle Account
  • Long-term stability and a clear future with the firm
