What are the responsibilities and job description for the Litigation Associate Attorney position at Ascend Attorney Search, LLC?
Our client, a litigation boutique founded by a former AUSA and large law firm trial attorney, is seeking an associate to take an active role in large commercial, white collar, and L&E disputes. Ideal candidates will have judicial clerkship and / or large law firm experience, and will bring a solid foundation of at least 1-5 years of experience in litigation to assist the firm in their representation of sophisticated corporate clients and executives in the New York area. Associates at this firm take an active role in, on average, at least one trial per year, gaining hands on experience and handling cases independently at an early stage in their career. The firm offers associates the flexibility to work from home, the ability to set their own billable hour target (which ties to a competitive, market-based comp model), a short clear path to partnership for those who want it (without a business development requirement), integration into client relationships that set them up for future management, and the support of a close-knit small team of attorneys.
