Small "AV" rated civil defense litigation firm in St. Louis with active state and federal trial practice has an opening for a hard-working associate (0-5 years experience), motivated to learn, develop responsibilities and get courtroom exposure. We offer an immediate opportunity to assume substantial responsibility in active cases, to have direct client contact, and to gain early second-chair trial exposure. Missouri bar license is required, but will consider a recent grad who will sit for the bar exam in July. An Illinois license is a plus. Base salary dependent upon experience, but both subjective and objective performance bonuses are awarded annually.
Responsibilities include legal research, drafting of pleadings, correspondence and discovery, making court appearances to argue motions and attend conferences, taking and defending depositions, and out-of-town travel to meet with witnesses and/or attend depositions. Associates can expect to actively manage case files quickly and to take on more serious responsibility as promptly as their confidence and growth allows.
Benefits include paid bar dues, CLE and malpractice insurance, participation in the firm's medical/dental/vision group insurance coverage, free parking and reimbursement of business mileage and expenses, and use of the in-office exercise facilities.
We also offer a hybrid "remote" work policy.
