Litigation Associate (1-4 Years) - Pensacola, Florida
About Client
Clientis a national plaintiffs' firm headquartered in Pensacola, Florida. We represent individuals and classes in multidistrict litigation, class actions, and consolidated mass tort proceedings against pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, consumer product companies, and other corporate defendants.
We are recognized leaders in this work. Federal courts have repeatedly appointed our attorneys to lead some of the largest coordinated proceedings in the country, and the firm and its lawyers have been recognized by the profession accordingly.
We represent the victims of others' greed, negligence and/or wrong-doing. The entities we sue are typically represented by the best-resourced defense firms in the country.
The Role
We are hiring one or two associates with one to four years of litigation experience to join the main firm in Pensacola. You will work across our mass tort and complex litigation docket from day one, alongside the partners who lead it. Expect to take and defend depositions, brief dispositive and expert motions, work directly with experts, argue in federal court, and contribute to strategy in cases where the law is unsettled and the outcomes affect thousands of people.
Who We Are Looking For
Most litigation associates spend their early years learning to be adequate. We are looking for the few who are already past that and are frustrated they're not being given more.
You write briefs that judges actually read, and you can tell the difference between an argument that is correct and one that persuades. You are composed and precise in a deposition, you prepare harder than the person across the table, and you want to be on your feet in a courtroom years before most firms would allow it. People trust you quickly, and you keep earning it: clients, co-counsel, experts, court staff.
You are drawn to hard problems. Defense counsel in our cases are the elite of the profession, and you should find that motivating rather than intimidating. The legal issues are often novel, the record is enormous, and the pressure is real. You should want that. And you should care that the work means something, because it does: when we win, people who were hurt by companies far more powerful than they are get some measure of justice.
We will give you more responsibility than you'd get almost anywhere else at this stage. In exchange, we expect you to take it seriously, take feedback well, and get better every month.
Requirements:
J.D. from an accredited law school with a strong academic record
