If you’re a sharp litigator who thrives behind the scenes—researching, writing, analyzing, and building airtight legal strategies—this opportunity is custom-made for you.

A boutique healthcare litigation firm with a national footprint is hiring 2–3 Litigation Associates to join its fully remote team. Led by a seasoned trial attorney with a $13M book of business and a track record of mentoring young lawyers, this role offers a chance to do meaningful work, grow under a dedicated mentor, and position yourself for long-term success.

What Sets This Role Apart

This is not your typical litigation associate job. You won’t be juggling business development or courtroom theatrics. Instead, you’ll dive deep into high-volume, high-stakes contract disputes between health plans and institutional providers. With over 200 active cases, the work is intellectually rigorous, data-driven, and perfect for those who love digging into the details.

You’ll work directly with the firm’s healthcare team leader—a respected attorney known for his exacting standards, strategic mind, and commitment to developing future leaders. If you want to prove yourself, be challenged, and grow fast, this is your chance.

• Manage complex provider-payor contract disputes
• Conduct deep claims analysis across both small and high-volume datasets

• Excited about long-term mentorship and succession planning
• Prefers substance over showmanship—this role favors introverts over rainmakers
