Multiple East Coast Locations | Full-Time

The Role

We are continuing to expand our senior litigation team and are seeking experienced attorneys (8+ years) with a strong background in construction-related defense work and broader civil litigation.

This role is geared toward litigators who are comfortable handling complex construction defect matters while also managing general liability, product liability, professional liability, and related insurance defense cases. Depending on office location, the emphasis may lean more heavily toward construction litigation.

We are looking for attorneys who can independently manage a meaningful caseload, mentor junior team members when needed, and operate with a high level of autonomy while collaborating with partners.

Responsibilities

Manage construction defect and related civil defense matters from assignment through resolution

Conduct depositions, hearings, mediations, and trial preparation

Draft and argue substantive motions, including dispositive motions

Evaluate contracts, project documentation, and expert reports in construction disputes

Develop case strategy in coordination with clients and firm leadership

Handle insurance carrier reporting and maintain organized file management

Accurately record and manage billable time

Depending on office needs, attorneys may also handle matters involving:

General liability

Personal injury defense

Product liability

Professional liability

Qualifications

8+ years of civil litigation experience

Significant construction litigation or construction defect defense experience

Insurance defense background strongly preferred

Proven motion practice and deposition experience

Ability to independently manage cases from suit inception to resolution

Trial preparation experience preferred

Juris Doctor required

Must be licensed in the state where located; additional neighboring state admissions are a plus

Why Join Us

Established multi-office civil defense platform with steady growth

Active construction litigation docket with consistent case flow

Senior-level autonomy and direct client access

Hybrid work structure (location-dependent)

Broad litigation exposure beyond a single niche practice

Long-term stability with structured compensation progression

We are seeking experienced litigators who want meaningful responsibility, consistent case flow, and the opportunity to continue building their construction defense practice within a collaborative regional platform.
