About The Position

Morrison Mahoney LLP is excited to add a mid-level Litigation Associate Attorney to its growing litigation team. With a strong regional presence, our firm offers a supportive environment where attorneys are trusted to take ownership of their cases and collaborate with experienced partners. We're seeking an associate with 5-7 years of civil litigation experience who is ready to step into a role with real responsibility, meaningful mentorship, and the opportunity to grow within the firm.

As a litigation associate attorney at Morrison Mahoney LLP, you'll take on a substantive and engaging role that balances autonomy with collaboration. You'll manage a diverse caseload from start to finish - drafting pleadings, motions, and discovery, meeting critical deadlines, and driving matters forward. Your litigation skills will continue to deepen through regular opportunities to prepare for and participate in depositions, hearings, and trials. You'll play a key role in developing litigation strategies, working closely with clients, experts, and colleagues across the firm. Maintaining proactive and professional communication with clients - including providing status updates and strategic guidance - will be an essential part of your practice.
