Complex Litigation Associate Attorney
Complex Litigation Associate Attorney
New York, NY
Exclusive Support for One Dedicated Client | National Team | High Client Visibility
Our client, an established, nationally recognized defense litigation firm with 1,400+ attorneys across 43 offices, is seeking a Complex Litigation Associate Attorney to work with one major corporate client as part of a nationally distributed team. This structure offers greater remote flexibility while still providing the stability and collaboration of a top-tier firm.
Because you'll work closely with a single client's legal and business teams, this role offers exceptional client face time, strategic involvement, and the type of relationship‑building experience that becomes invaluable for attorneys considering an eventual move in‑house.
The Opportunity
You'll handle a sophisticated docket involving general liability, transportation, personal injury, and catastrophic injury matters, with meaningful responsibility and national exposure from day one.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage cases independently from inception through resolution
- Collaborate with partners and teams across multiple offices nationwide
- Conduct depositions, investigations, motion practice, mediations, and trial prep
- Provide strategic, timely updates directly to the client's legal and business teams
Qualifications
- JD from an ABA-accredited law school
- Active New York bar admission
- 3-8 years of defense litigation experience
- Strong writing, advocacy, and interpersonal communication skills
- Ability to manage complex, high-volume matters confidently
Who Should Apply
Ideal candidates are those who:
- Want substantial client interaction and direct visibility with decision‑makers
- Enjoy working on a nationally integrated team with remote flexibility
- Seek a long-term platform that can naturally support an in‑house transition
- Prefer early responsibility and autonomy within a highly supportive environment
- Value relationship‑building and consistent collaboration with one dedicated client
Compensation & Benefits
Salary: $150,000-$190,000 + discretionary bonuses
Includes full medical, dental, vision, life/disability, PTO, 401(k), and additional firm perks.
Why This Role Stands Out
- One‑Client Focus: Build deep, ongoing partnership
- Pathway to In‑House Work: Gain relevant business‑facing skills
- National Team = More Remote Flexibility
- High‑Impact Work on Major Litigation Matters
