Job description

At Wilson Elser, we are redefining what it means to work at a national law firm. With more than 1,400 attorneys across 46 offices nationwide, we are recognized among the top 100 law firms by The American Lawyer and ranked #30 in the National Law Journal's survey of the nation's largest law firms.

Our continued success is built on a culture of collaboration, innovation, client service, and mutual respect. We are committed to fostering an environment where attorneys are empowered to grow their careers, contribute meaningfully, and thrive professionally.

Our firm is committed to attracting and retaining professionals who value each other and the service we provide by embracing Teamwork, Collaboration, Client Service, and Innovation. If you are a motivated professional looking for a long-term fit where you can grow in a role, and will be valued and empowered, then we invite you to apply to our Staff Attorney position, in any of our offices.

This position offers a flexible, hybrid working arrangement.

The Position

Join a High-Impact Litigation Team

If you're a litigation attorney who enjoys solving complex problems, thinking strategically, and collaborating with talented legal teams, this opportunity offers something different.

You'll play a key role in developing and executing discovery strategy for a sophisticated national litigation portfolio on behalf of a major international law firm client. You'll work alongside experienced attorneys, engage directly with in-house and outside counsel, and help shape discovery approaches that influence cases across the country.

This role is ideal for an attorney who enjoys investigation, issue-spotting, strategic analysis, and working in a collaborative, fast-paced environment where every day presents new challenges.

The Position

  • Investigate complex litigation matters and identify case-specific discovery issues before they become problems.
  • Draft thoughtful, well-supported discovery responses and objections tailored to the unique facts of each case while maintaining consistency with broader national litigation strategies.
  • Partner with in-house counsel and outside law firms to develop practical, strategic discovery solutions.
  • Analyze trends across cases and contribute to the development of best practices and national discovery initiatives.
  • Work collaboratively with a highly skilled legal team in a dynamic environment that values critical thinking, innovation, and continuous improvement.
  • Help identify opportunities to improve discovery processes, reduce risk, and drive greater efficiency.

What We're Looking For

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school
  • Active license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
  • Experience handling litigation discovery, investigations, or complex civil litigation.
  • Exceptional analytical skills with the ability to identify legal and factual issues quickly.
  • Outstanding legal writing and communication skills.
  • A collaborative mindset and the ability to work effectively with attorneys across multiple teams and jurisdictions.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
  • Experience using AI tools and large language models to enhance legal workflows is a plus.
  • Personal injury litigation experience is preferred.

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to move beyond routine discovery work and become part of a team that helps shape litigation strategy on a national scale. You'll work on challenging, meaningful matters, collaborate with accomplished legal professionals, and make a tangible impact for a premier international law firm client.

If you're looking for a role that combines strategic thinking, collaboration, and sophisticated litigation work, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Join Wilson Elser?

  • Meaningful Work: Handle sophisticated matters alongside experienced attorneys and partners
  • Collaborative Culture: Work in a supportive team environment that values mentorship and professional development 
  • Advancement: Gain opportunities for long-term growth within a nationally recognized firm
  • Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy a flexible hybrid work arrangement that supports work-life balance
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Competitive compensation, generous PTO, 401(k) match, and robust medical, dental, vision, life, and disability coverage
  • Additional Perks: Access to corporate discount programs and employee benefits
