Transportation Attorney
A nationally recognized client is seeking a dynamic and litigation-savvy Counsel to join a high-impact team representing a global logistics powerhouse. This is a rare opportunity to step into a role where transportation law meets cutting-edge legal strategy, and where your litigation expertise will shape the future of mobility and commerce. This role can sit in Philadelphia, Madison - New Jersey, New York City, Los Angeles or San Francisco. The structure is hybrid.
This position is ideal for a legal professional who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys tackling nuanced regulatory frameworks, and is ready to lead complex cases from inception through resolution.
What You'll Do
- Command a diverse litigation docket, managing cases from pre-suit investigation through trial or settlement
- Navigate the intricacies of transportation law, including federal and state regulatory landscapes
- Draft compelling pleadings, motions, and legal memoranda with precision and strategic insight
- Represent clients in depositions, mediations, and court proceedings with confidence and clarity
- Collaborate with cross-functional legal teams nationwide to deliver seamless client service
- Provide strategic counsel to stakeholders, identifying proactive paths to resolution
- Translate legal complexity into actionable guidance for clients in the logistics and e-commerce sectors
What You Bring
- Juris Doctor from an ABA-accredited institution
- Active license to practice law in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey or California
- Minimum 3 years of litigation experience, ideally in general casualty or transportation-related matters
- Proven deposition and motion practice experience
- Trial experience is a plus
- Familiarity with trucking, logistics, and regulatory compliance frameworks preferred
- Insight into emerging legal issues in e-commerce and gig economy models is a bonus
- Exceptional analytical, writing, and communication skills
- Tech-forward mindset and comfort with legal tech platforms
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work with a premier client in a rapidly evolving industry
- Be part of a collaborative, nationally integrated litigation team
- Tackle novel legal challenges at the intersection of transportation and innovation
- Enjoy flexibility, autonomy, and the support of a forward-thinking firm culture
