Looking for more than just another litigation associate role?
A well-established Midwest litigation firm is seeking an Associate Attorney with 2-8 years of experience to join its growing St. Louis office during an exciting period of expansion and transformation.
The firm is actively investing in the future of its St. Louis platform and is seeking attorneys who want hands-on litigation experience, meaningful client exposure, strong mentorship, and a long-term path for growth. This is an opportunity to join a busy practice with an existing book of litigation work, substantial client relationships, and a leadership team focused on strategic growth.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Immediate exposure to a substantial and active litigation caseload
Opportunity to work directly with experienced trial attorneys
Meaningful client contact and responsibility
Strong pipeline of insurance defense and transportation matters

Opportunity to grow into future leadership and partnership roles
