This is a lead-litigator role designed for an experienced attorney seeking meaningful responsibility and autonomy. The successful candidate will take over and run commercial litigation matters delegated by senior partners, serve as day-to-day lead counsel on cases, and supervise junior attorneys as needed.

- Take and defend depositions, argue motions, and handle trial work on a regular basis
- Supervise and mentor junior attorneys as needed
Requirements
- Approximately 10–20+ years of commercial litigation experience
- Demonstrated ability to run cases independently with substantial first-chair experience
- Active Virginia bar admission required; DC and/or Maryland admission a plus
- A small portable book of business (approximately $200K+)
What the Firm Offers
- A national platform with strong cross-selling opportunities across multiple practice areas and offices
- A structured business development program including training, coaching, and accountability
- Competitive compensation aligned with experience, productivity, and growth
- A leadership role with meaningful responsibility and autonomy within a supportive environment
