A highly respected Midwest law firm with a strong regional and national presence is seeking a Complex Commercial Litigation Associate (2+ years of experience) to join its Columbus office. This firm is known for its sophisticated litigation bench, supportive culture, and collaborative, business-minded approach to dispute resolution.
About the Practice
The litigation team handles high-stakes commercial disputes involving contract claims, business torts, shareholder/partnership conflicts, financial and securities matters, and class actions. The group is routinely recognized in Chambers USA, Best Lawyers/Best Law Firms, and other industry rankings for excellence in trial and appellate advocacy. Matters are often complex, multi-party, and frequently involve cross-office teams.
You’ll work directly with experienced trial partners while taking on meaningful responsibilities early. Associates here routinely take and defend depositions, draft dispositive motions, work closely with clients, and gain courtroom exposure-not just document review.
What Makes This a Strong Opportunity
-
High-quality, complex commercial and business litigation work
-
Real mentorship from trial-tested litigators
-
A firm culture that prioritizes professional growth, collaboration, and long-term career development
-
Competitive compensation and benefits, with flexibility and support for work-life balance
-
Columbus-based role within a firm that has a significant Ohio footprint and broad cross-practice resources
Ideal Candidate
-
2+ years of litigation experience in a law firm setting
-
Strong brief writing and analytical skills
-
Experience with depositions, hearings, or dispositive motion practice preferred
-
Ability to manage cases independently and as part of a team
-
Admission to practice in Ohio (or eligibility to waive in)
This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who wants complex litigation work without the rigid or impersonal culture of BigLaw, and who values working in a firm that invests in its lawyers and promotes from within.
