Job Description

Mid-Level Financial Services Litigation Associate

Position: Litigation Associate – Financial Services (Mid-Level)

Location: St. Louis, MO (Hybrid: 3 days in office / 2 days remote)

Compensation: $165,000 – $200,000 (Base salary, commensurate with experience) + Bonus & Benefits

Position Overview

A highly respected, full-service law firm with a 100+ year legacy of excellence is seeking a mid-level Litigation Associate to join its thriving Financial Services Litigation Practice Group in St. Louis.

This is a premier opportunity for an ambitious attorney looking to handle sophisticated commercial litigation work while benefiting from structured, one-on-one professional development plans, individualized coaching, and a clear path for career growth.

The Day-to-Day

• Take ownership of cases from inception through discovery and trial preparation.

• Actively attend and represent clients at depositions, settlement conferences, and hearings.

• Draft complex motions, discovery responses, pleadings, and high-level client reports.

• Collaborate on trial strategy, conduct key records reviews, and handle client and witness preparation.

The Ideal Candidate

• 3 to 5 years of litigation-based practice.

• Must possess an active Missouri law license (or be eligible for immediate admission).

• Proven hands-on experience taking and defending depositions.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities are required.

• Experience advising on financial services regulatory and compliance matters, and a focus on FINRA arbitration, is highly advantageous.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• The firm actively avoids the "sink or swim" model, offering formalized, individual training and executive coaching to help you reach your career goals.

• Enjoy a structured hybrid schedule offering 2 remote days and 3 in-office days per week following onboarding.

• A historically stable, inclusive firm that marries sophisticated, high-stakes work with a supportive environment.
