The Opportunity 

The firm is now seeking a Senior Associate litigator to step into a high-responsibility role working directly with partners on complex and demanding matters. This is not a volume-driven role. It is suited for a lawyer who: 

• Takes true ownership of matters 
• Is comfortable operating with significant autonomy 
• Can manage sophisticated issues with minimal oversight 
• Has the flexibility to accommodate long hours when matters require it 

You will work across a broad range of high-level disputes, including: 

• Complex commercial litigation 
• Business and shareholder disputes 
• Securities and fraud matters 
• International arbitration 
• IP disputes 
• Class actions 
• Antitrust litigation 

This role offers direct partner access, meaningful responsibility, and the opportunity to be a core contributor on matters typically handled at the top of the market. 

What Makes This Role Different 

• Remote platform with no rigid office requirements 
• Lean teams; your work is substantive, not layered through multiple levels 
• Direct exposure to sophisticated clients and decision-makers 
• High level of trust, responsibility, and autonomy 
• Work that is strategic, not administrative 

Required Qualifications: 

• JD from an ABA-accredited law school 
• Licensed and in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction 
• 7+ years of experience in complex litigation 

Preferred Experience: 

• Background at an Am Law 100 or similarly sophisticated firm 
• Experience running key components of matters independently 
• Comfort interfacing directly with clients 
• Ability to manage fast-moving, high-pressure matters 

Personal Traits We Value: 

• Ownership mentality. You treat matters as your responsibility 
• Sound judgment and business sense 
• Responsiveness and reliability 
• Flexibility when urgent matters demand additional time
