A bit about us:

We're partnering with a well-established, growth-oriented law firm in Columbus that is actively seeking a Litigation Attorney with defense experience to step into a high-impact role. This is not a "sit in the back room and review docs" position-you'll be trusted with meaningful responsibility, client interaction, and a clear path to advancement. They are looking for either a junior attorney or senior level principal attorney.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Immediate hands-on litigation experience - Manage cases, take depositions, and get real courtroom exposure
Diverse caseload - Work across commercial, insurance, employment, construction, and professional liability matters
Supportive, collaborative environment - Work alongside experienced attorneys who are invested in mentorship and development
Stability + growth - Join a firm with a strong reputation and consistent pipeline of work
Clear expectations - Billable structure that's achievable and aligned with quality work-not burnout

Why join us?

What We're Looking For:
2+ years of defense litigation experience
Candidates can be either a junior or senior level associate
Salary based on YOE
Strong writing, analytical, and courtroom skills
Ability to independently manage a caseload
Licensed (or eligible) to practice in Ohio
