About The Position

Porter Scott is seeking an Associate Attorney with at least two years of experience to join our litigation team. This position is ideal for an attorney who already has a foundation in legal practice and is looking for greater responsibility, courtroom exposure, and the opportunity to further develop as a litigator. In this role, you will work on a wide variety of civil litigation matters from the earliest stages of a case through resolution. You will have the opportunity to draft and argue motions, conduct legal research, manage discovery, take and defend depositions, participate in mediations, and work alongside seasoned trial attorneys in preparing cases for trial. Rather than being limited to a narrow role, you will be entrusted with meaningful responsibilities and encouraged to actively contribute to case strategy and client relationships. The attorneys who thrive at Porter Scott are intellectually curious, proactive, and eager to continue developing their litigation skills. We value attorneys who take initiative, enjoy collaborating with colleagues, and are committed to providing outstanding service to clients. Strong writing, analytical, and advocacy skills are essential, as is the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced litigation environment.
