Associate Litigation Attorney

Associate Litigation Attorney (No Billable Target) – Salem, OR

Role:
Associate Litigation Attorney

Experience:

3+ Years

Location:

Salem, OR

Compensation: $100,000 – $115,000 Base + Revenue-Based Bonus

We are currently representing a premier firm in Salem that is defying the law firm "grind." My client has a sophisticated, high-volume litigation practice and is looking for a motivated Associate to join their ranks.

This isn't a "back-office" research role. This firm has significant litigation work on the books and needs a talented attorney who wants to be in the thick of it.

The Differentiator:
Performance over "The Clock"

The most unique aspect of this firm? There is no billable hour target. The partners trust their team to be professionals. You are empowered to set your own schedule, provided you are onsite for client-facing meetings and collaborative firm needs. This is a results-oriented environment where your value is measured by the quality of your advocacy, not just the minutes you log.

The Environment & Support

Top-Tier Support:
You will have access to high-quality support staff, allowing you to focus on strategy and litigation rather than administrative tasks.

Collegial Culture:
The firm maintains a very friendly, "open-door" feel. They value a collaborative atmosphere where attorneys actually enjoy working together.

Career Customization:
They offer genuine long-term tracks. Whether you want to climb the ladder to Partner or prefer the balance of an Of Counsel role, there is a clear path forward—and both come with significantly higher bonus structures.

Base Salary: $100k – $115k (depending on experience).

Incentives:

Subjective bonuses based on a percentage of firm-wide revenue once benchmarks are achieved.

Retirement: 401k eligibility after one year of employment.

3+ years of litigation experience (JD and active bar license required).

A desire for onsite collaboration in their Salem office.

Strong courtroom presence and a passion for active litigation.
