We are a regional litigation firm representing businesses, insurers, and individuals in civil defense matters. Our attorneys handle cases from inception through resolution across a variety of practice areas, with a focus on practical strategy and efficient case management. We emphasize strong courtroom advocacy, clear client communication, and thoughtful risk assessment. Our team structure allows attorneys to take ownership of their matters while collaborating with experienced colleagues when needed.

Attorneys in our firm gain hands‑on litigation experience early and often. You will manage files, take depositions, argue motions, attend court appearances, and work directly with clients. We provide mentorship without micromanagement and encourage professional development through substantive responsibility. Our environment is professional and supportive, with flexibility and a long‑term view toward career growth.

Senior Litigation Attorney – Construction & Civil Defense

Multiple East Coast Locations | Full-Time

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.

• 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

• 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

• 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.
