Job DescriptionJob Description

Segal McCambridge, a national litigation firm, is seeking an Associate Attorney for its toxic tort / product liability practice group in our Chicago office. This is an excellent opportunity for attorneys looking to hone their litigation skills and take responsibility for the day-to-day management of an assigned case load while still being afforded the benefit of working in a team environment and receiving training and mentorship from partners with deep experience in these practice areas. This is a hybrid position, with two office days per week.

We seek candidates with:

Associates take ownership of case management (along with a supervising partner) and have the ability to handle all aspects of a file from inception through resolution/trial. Compensation is competitive with opportunity for bonus and credit for business origination.
