Segal McCambridge

Segal McCambridge, a national litigation firm, is seeking an Associate Attorney with at least 3 years of experience in civil litigation to join our Denver office. This is an excellent opportunity for an associate who wants meaningful responsibility, hands-on litigation experience, and mentorship from seasoned trial attorneys.

The Role

This position supports an active multi-state litigation docket focused on general liability and commercial matters including, but not limited to, premises liability, first-party property claims, commercial casualty matters and trucking. Associates in this role manage their own case assignments and are trusted to handle matters from inception through resolution, with guidance and collaboration from experienced partners.

In addition to supporting our Colorado practice, associates are often given the opportunity to support national practice groups. While the preference is for someone based in our Denver office (hybrid), we will also consider candidates located elsewhere in Colorado.

What You’ll Do

• Draft pleadings, motions, and discovery
• Take and defend depositions
• Participate in hearings, mediations, and case strategy
• Work directly with clients and collaborate with senior attorneys
• Develop strong trial-ready litigation skills in a supportive environment

What We’re Looking For

• Active Colorado law license (required); additional licensure in surrounding states is a plus
• Solid legal research, writing, and advocacy skills
• Experience with motion practice, discovery, and depositions
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities
• Strong interpersonal and presentation skills
• Ownership mindset and pride in producing high-quality work

Why Segal McCambridge?

• Real responsibility early – you’re trusted with your own cases
• Mentorship that matters – learn directly from experienced trial lawyers
• National platform with cross-office collaboration
• Competitive compensation, including bonus opportunities and credit for business origination
• Strong work/life balance in a collegial, team-oriented culture
