Careers

We regularly evaluate attorneys looking to build serious commercial litigation careers in Virginia while working on matters with national reach. That includes exceptional early-career lawyers with strong instincts and work ethic, as well as laterals who have already proven their craft. For litigators with a meaningful book of business, we also consider partner-level opportunities.
Success here requires more than technical skill. Litigators need to fit our philosophy of litigation. That means embracing our tagline, Smart business. Bold advocacy. It means understanding that litigation should be viewed as a tool to create leverage, protect value, and move the client toward a defined business objective.
Candidates should either bring a business background or be ready to develop one quickly. They need to be market-aware, comfortable taking ownership, and willing to think beyond default strategies. Big, creative, and sometimes audacious ideas are expected. So is practical judgment.
The work needs to be bold, but also efficient. That requires constant reevaluation of the strategy, staffing, and effort to ensure the matter is actually moving toward the client’s desired outcome.

Serious courtroom experience: This is a premium platform built for advocates seeking real trial lawyer positions in Virginia, not endless support work behind layers of staffing.
Commercial focus: The practice is built around sophisticated business disputes, making it a strong fit for attorneys pursuing litigation attorney jobs in Virginia with real responsibility.
Business-minded advocacy: Our litigators are expected to deeply understand our clients’ industries, competitive landscapes, operational pressure points, and financial incentives—not just the underlying case law.
Big ideas, efficient execution: Creative strategy matters, but so does thoughtful staffing and constant reassessment of whether the work is advancing the client’s position.
Room to grow: We are open to exceptional early-career candidates, experienced laterals, and partner-level litigators as part of our long-term litigation counsel recruitment strategy.
Communication is central to all of it. Successful litigators need to work directly with business owners, executives, and in-house teams, and they need to speak their language—the language of P&Ls, cap tables, deal friction, and operational scalability.
It also means belt-and-suspenders communication with opposing counsel. And, of course, it means masterful and persuasive written and oral advocacy built on clear storytelling, strong arguments, and the ability to command a courtroom.
