Description:

Segal McCambridge, a national litigation firm, is seeking an associate attorney for its civil litigation group in the Southfield, MI office. The position will have a focus on transportation and trucking matters as well as some general insurance defense matters (premises liability, personal injury, property damage and fire loss, etc.). This position is an excellent opportunity for attorneys who are looking to hone their litigation skills while handling entire case files with autonomy, but also having the benefit of working in a collaborative, collegial environment to provide first-class results for our clients. The attorney in this position will also receive training and mentorship from partners with deep experience in these practice areas.

We seek candidates with:

  • Excellent legal-research, writing, and advocacy skills;
  • Ability to multitask and manage multiple deadlines;
  • Strong interpersonal and presentation skills;
  • Proven ability to produce top quality work;
  • A willingness to be proactive and take ownership of projects and assignments, but also be able to work within a team structure when needed;
  • Experience in federal court and alternative dispute resolution preferred, but not required.

This position will allow the attorney to immediately contribute and engage in meaningful work, including legal research, preparing various litigation documents, investigating facts, engaging with experts and attending hearings, depositions, mediations and trials. This is a hybrid position, with a flexible mixture of remote and intermittent in-office attendance. Compensation is competitive with opportunity for bonus and credit for business origination.

If you are looking for an opportunity with a growing, collaborative firm, please apply and include your cover letter and resume.
