Litigation Associate – Product Liability (3–5 Years Experience)
St. Louis or Kansas City, Missouri
Are you a mid-level litigation associate looking for something more than the traditional BigLaw grind? Tired of being buried in discovery without ever seeing a courtroom—or a client?
A national full-service law firm with a deep litigation bench is seeking a Litigation Associate with 3–5 years of experience to join its growing Product Liability team in either St. Louis or Kansas City, Missouri.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
Client-Facing from Day One: You won’t be siloed here. You’ll work directly with clients, take ownership of matters, and have a real voice on the team.
Fast Track to Partnership: This isn’t a firm where partnership is a moving target. Associates who perform well are rewarded with a clear and achievable path to partnership.
Hands-On Litigation Experience: Get into court. Take depositions. Contribute meaningfully to strategy. You’ll be part of a team that believes in training by doing, not observing.
Collaborative, Entrepreneurial Culture: This is a firm where people want to work together. Where senior attorneys make time to mentor. Where ideas are encouraged—and implemented.
A Modern Approach to Law: Innovation is in the firm’s DNA. They’re constantly exploring new technologies, marketing tools, and client service models to stay ahead of the curve.
What They’re Looking For:
2 to 6 years of litigation experience, ideally from a full-service national law firm
Experience handling product liability matters (additional exposure to commercial litigation is a plus)
Strong writing, research, and analytical skills
A solid academic record and active bar license in Missouri (or eligibility for waiver)
A team-oriented mindset, entrepreneurial spirit, and a desire to be part of something great
What You’ll Find Here:
Smart, driven, and fun colleagues who take the work seriously—but not themselves
A professional home where your success matters to everyone around you
The tools and support to build your personal brand and grow your practice
A forward-thinking firm that values creativity, initiative, and authenticity
If you're looking for a firm that feels less like an institution and more like a team—where your contributions are seen and your potential is nurtured—this is your place.
