Associate Attorney

Chicago | Salt Lake City | National Practice

You became a litigator to try cases. To solve hard problems. To stand up when it matters.

Somewhere along the way, the work may have become more about hours than impact. At Peak Law Group, we are building something different.

We are a boutique trial litigation firm representing hospital systems, insurers, physicians, and healthcare professionals in high-stakes matters across 13 states. Our work includes medical malpractice defense, sexual assault defense, mass tort litigation, and catastrophic injury cases.

We handle complex cases. We prepare them for trial. And we expect our lawyers to think, not just bill.

Medical malpractice defense demands more than procedural skill. Each case requires mastering a new area of medicine or science. Our attorneys serve not only as legal counsel, but as counselors to physicians and nurses whose careers and reputations are on the line.

The work is demanding. It is intellectually rigorous. It carries real responsibility. It is also meaningful in a way that few litigation practices are. We are fortunate to serve those who serve our communities.

Peak is intentionally small and intentionally different.

We believe:

• A firm only succeeds when its attorneys are supported and balanced
• Excellence does not require unnecessary bureaucracy
• Trial lawyers develop faster when they are trusted with responsibility
• Compensation structures should reflect values, not just hours

We offer:

• Remote, hybrid, part-time, and full-time flexibility
• Thriving offices in Chicago and Salt Lake City
• Competitive salary and full benefits
• A bonus structure that differs from traditional large-firm models

We are building a firm centered around our people — not built on them.

• 3+ years of litigation experience
• Strong writing and analytical skills
• Comfort taking ownership of cases
• Medical malpractice experience preferred, not required

This role is particularly well-suited for litigators who:

• Want substantive responsibility earlier
• Want to sharpen trial skills
• Want to do sophisticated work without unnecessary layers
• Value culture and collegiality as much as compensation.

If you are looking for a place to practice at a high level — and build a career that is sustainable, purposeful, and challenging in the right ways — we would welcome a conversation.
