Segal McCambridge, a national litigation firm, is seeking an Associate Attorney for its general liability / complex litigation group in our Chicago office. This team handles high stakes product liability, catastrophic personal injury, medical malpractice, pharmaceutical negligence, professional negligence, transportation, construction defect and other general liability matters. This is an excellent opportunity for attorneys looking to hone their litigation skills and take responsibility for the day-to-day management of an assigned case load while still being afforded the benefit of working in a team environment and receiving training and mentorship from partners with deep experience in these practice areas. This is a hybrid position, with two office days per week.
We Seek Candidates With

• Current, active license to practice law in Illinois. Dual licensure in any jurisdiction desirable;
• Minimum of 2 years’ experience in civil defense litigation including experience drafting pleadings, written discovery; motions and other related litigation documents; performing legal research; taking and defending depositions; reporting to clients and/or insurance carriers; and other facets of the litigation process;

• Experience in federal court and handling mediations/arbitrations desirable.
  

This position offers exponential opportunities for career advancement within a well-established, but growing organization. Our attorneys work on sophisticated and challenging matters in a collaborative team environment. Associates take ownership of case management (along with a supervising partner) and have the ability to handle all aspects of a file from inception through resolution/trial. If you are looking to be challenged and handle files independently while having the ability to work collaboratively with an experienced litigation team, please apply and include your cover letter and resume.
