A growing, nationally respected law firm is seeking a Senior Litigation Associate with 5+ years of defense-side complex litigation experience to join its New Jersey office. This role offers the opportunity to handle sophisticated litigation matters in a collaborative, supportive environment that values work-life balance and long-term career sustainability.

About the Role

This position is ideal for an experienced litigator who enjoys high-quality work but is looking for a more balanced and team-oriented practice. You will have meaningful responsibility while working alongside colleagues who prioritize collaboration and shared success.

  • Drafting and arguing dispositive and non-dispositive motions
  • Taking and defending depositions
  • Participating in mediations and trials with strong team support
  • Mentoring junior attorneys and contributing to a positive team culture
While prior employment law experience is a plus, the firm welcomes candidates from other defense-side litigation backgrounds with an interest in expanding into this practice area.

What We're Looking For

Successful candidates will bring:
  • Strong academic credentials
  • Excellent writing, analytical, and advocacy skills
  • Strong judgment, professionalism, and reliability
  • Interest in steady, sustainable career growth (with business development support available, not required immediately)
  • Admission to the New Jersey and New York Bars (required)
