Litigation Associate

About the job

BSP Law, a litigation boutique with offices in Michigan and Texas, seeks associates for its growing team. Though smaller than “big law” firms, BSP Law punches well above its weight, providing nationwide litigation services with trial skills second to none. Some of America’s best-known companies look to BSP Law for successful results in product liability litigation, complex business litigation, class actions, and appeals.

An associate filling our open position should have an interest in handling product liability cases, but will also have opportunities to work in BSP Law’s other trial litigation practice areas. Many of our attorneys have returned to working mostly in-office, but BSP Law has embraced a forward-looking hybrid in-person/remote environment. Depending on qualifications and role—and after initial onboarding—we will consider remote-first candidates.

Successful candidates will demonstrate:

• Outstanding interpersonal, analytical, organizational, and communication (both written and oral) skills;
• Strong attention to detail and highly responsive and efficient work habits;
• A desire to produce top-quality work and continually improve;
• Leadership and ownership on cases; and
• Excellent organizational and multi-tasking skills.

Skills & Qualifications:

• 2-6 years’ experience in civil litigation, including drafting pleadings, taking depositions, and arguing motions;
• Deep thinker; efficient researcher; persuasive writer and speaker; and
• Michigan or Texas Bar License (or ability to waive in).

Job duties include:

• Identification and analysis of complex legal issues;
• Drafting and responding to discovery requests (which requires gathering, organizing, and indexing large volumes of paper and electronic materials);
• Drafting and responding to motions;
• Taking depositions and assisting with preparation of witnesses for depositions;
• Frequent communication with opposing counsel, experts, witnesses, and clients;
• Frequent analysis of technical issues;
• Analyzing engineering documents and various other file materials, and preparing these materials for electronic production; and
• Responding to deposition notices (which includes proper objections, scope analysis, and definition).

We provide a competitive compensation package, including the following benefits and other perks;

• Market-competitive salary
• Bonuses
• 401(k) program
• Health coverage
• Pet insurance
• Paid parental leave
• Remote work options
• Vacation stipend
