Job Description

Construction Defect Litigation Associate
Denver, CO

Want to be taking depositions and standing up in court while your law school classmates are still buried in document review? A well-respected Denver litigation firm is adding several associates to its construction practice. This is a specialized, steady niche where the skills you build go with you for your whole career.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Real litigation experience early, including depositions, motions, hearings and trial preparation, not years of doc review
• Concrete, high-stakes cases involving buildings, engineering and design experts, site inspections and large-dollar claims
• A specialty that's always in demand, with steady work and expertise that travels well
• Mentorship from seasoned construction trial lawyers, with real ownership of your cases sooner than at a large firm
• A growing practice adding multiple seats, with room to grow alongside it

What You'll Do

• Handle construction defect, contract and payment disputes from early case work through resolution
• Draft pleadings, motions and written discovery
• Take and defend depositions, and work closely with experts
• Prepare cases for mediation, arbitration and trial

What You Bring

• 0 to 6 years of litigation experience, with responsibilities matched to your level
• An active Colorado law license (or eligible)
• Strong writing and analytical skills
• Interest in construction, real estate or insurance litigation. Prior construction experience is a plus but not required.

What the Firm Offers

• Competitive pay scaled to experience
• Full benefits
• A collaborative team with a clear path for growth
