Litigation & Corporate Transactions Associate Attorney

Litigation & Corporate Associate Attorney

Join to apply for the Litigation & Corporate Associate Attorney role at Dunlap Bennett Ludwig PLLC

Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig is looking to hire an associate with approximately three to five years of private practice experience in our Richmond VA office. The position can be a hybrid work schedule after an initial, full time training period in the office.

A strong candidate must first and foremost be a team player who enjoys working with other people on the Richmond team. This is a fast-paced practice that often involves responding to clients in acute situations. The current team takes pride in its work and enjoys solving the challenges our clients raise together.

This position is also for someone to resolve issues for clients with mentorship from a partner. However, the goal for this position in short order is for the candidate to be self-sufficient in solving client problems as soon as feasible. Experience handling projects and cases from initial intake to final resolution, whether those be litigation or corporate in nature is preferred.
