ERISA Associate Attorney

About the role

We are building out a nationally recognized ERISA Litigation team for high‑stakes employee benefits disputes, including multimillion‑dollar breach of fiduciary duty class actions and plan termination litigation that will set new precedent. This is not a backfill position; it is a strategic expansion for a practice group that handles the most sophisticated ERISA matters in the country.

• Take and defend depositions in complex fiduciary breach cases
• Draft dispositive motions and argue them in federal court
• Work directly with expert witnesses on damages and prudence issues
• Second‑chair trials and arbitrations with partners who trust you in the room
• Build expertise that makes you indispensable, not replaceable

• 2–6 years of litigation experience (ERISA background is a major plus, but we’ll train the right litigator)
• Excellent academic credentials and a track record of winning
• Strong writing skills and confidence to stand up in court

• Top of Market Pay: Compensation on the leading national scale for elite litigation practices
• Real Responsibility: Direct partner mentorship without layers of bureaucracy
• Geographic Flexibility: Based in Washington, DC preferred, but we’re open to Atlanta, Dallas, or Chicago for the right candidate
• Meaningful Work: Handle cases that shape employee benefits law and affect millions of plan participants

The interview process will move quickly; we are recruiting confidentially for this specific opening and aim to make a decision soon.
