Location: Pittsburgh, PA

About the Role:

A sophisticated downtown Pittsburgh law firm is seeking a Pennsylvania-licensed attorney with the drive to take ownership of their practice and deliver exceptional results for clients.

If you’re ready to manage your own caseload, build lasting client relationships, and practice law in an environment where you’re both supported and respected, we’d love to meet you.

Who We Are:

Our mission is simple: to help people when they need it most. That same commitment extends to our team. We’ve built a modern, paperless workspace with top-of-the-line tools so you can focus on practicing law — not managing inefficiencies. You’ll find a collegial environment where collaboration is encouraged, but your autonomy and judgment are trusted.

· Do good

· Build trust

· Lead compassionately

· Communicate honestly

· Achieve your best

What We Offer:

Firm Culture & Perks:

· Monthly happy hours and quarterly professional development events

· All-expense-paid Bench Bar conference

· Private window office in a Class A downtown skyscraper with gym access

· Dedicated three-person support staff

· Associate career ladder with equity partnership track

Responsibilities:

· Independently manage your own caseload from intake to resolution across multiple practice areas

· Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, advising them with honesty and empathy

· Develop and execute case strategies through legal research, analysis, and drafting

· Represent clients in court proceedings

· Collaborate with colleagues and support staff when needed, without unnecessary hierarchy

· Participate in marketing and networking opportunities that align with your practice goals

Qualifications:

· Minimum of 2 years of civil litigation experience preferred

· Ability to independently manage cases while also being a team player
