- At least 2 years of litigation experience in private practice
- A Pennsylvania law license
- A Bachelor's degree and a J.D.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Westlaw
- Strong communication skills with clients, colleagues, and courts
- A tenacious, practical, solutions-focused approach and a positive attitude
What's offered
- An achievable billable hour requirement, a competitive salary with quarterly bonuses, and an associate career ladder
- Health insurance with a low deductible, plus dental, vision, life, and short- and long-term disability coverage
- 401(k) matching and profit-sharing
- Generous paid time off and holidays, including a winter break between Christmas and New Year's Day
- A private window office, a three-person support staff, and paid 24/7 garage parking
