Job Description

 

Commercial Litigation Attorney

Big Law Exit Opportunity | 5+ Years Experience
Location: Nashville, TN

A Strategic Next Step from Big Law

This is a rare opportunity for a Big Law–trained litigator seeking a long-term platform that offers high-level work, excellent compensation, and a sustainable lifestyle—without the pressure, politics, or burnout of Big Law.

The firm is adding capacity, not chasing originations. If you enjoy practicing law, serving clients well, and working alongside people you actually like, this role is designed for you.

The Practice

  • Commercial litigation matters with sophisticated clients

  • Meaningful responsibility and autonomy

  • High standards, thoughtful advocacy, and collaborative case strategy

  • No business development or book of business required

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • 5+ years of commercial litigation experience

  • Big Law background strongly preferred

  • Top-tier academic credentials required (Top law school or Honors / Cume Laude+)

  • Strong writing, analytical, and client-facing skills

  • Professional, personable, and team-oriented

Why Big Law Attorneys Make the Move Here

  • Low billable expectations compared to Big Law

  • Generous, market-competitive compensation

  • Collegial, no-ego environment with true mentorship

  • Zero turnover—attorneys stay long term

  • Family-oriented culture that respects life outside the office

  • Focus on quality work and client service, not hours or politics

The Firm Culture

  • Highly collaborative and supportive

  • Partners are accessible and invested in your success

  • Stable, well-managed firm with consistent workflow

  • A place to build a career—not just survive one

Bottom Line

If you’re a Big Law litigator who enjoys complex work but wants a better quality of life without sacrificing compensation or caliber, this is the kind of role that rarely comes available.
