Senior Litigation Attorney - Complex Litigation

Job description

At Jimerson Birr, our team has accepted the lasting responsibility of protecting our clients’ rights, businesses, properties, investments, and finances. Our professionals are integral, trusted advisers and advocates in both established and emerging businesses, giving our clients insights into legal and business considerations that guide prudent decision-making. We work with some of the world’s most respected and well-established businesses, as well as start-up visionaries, and individuals looking to overcome challenges. **About the Role** Jimerson Birr is seeking a Senior Litigation Attorney for our Complex Litigation team; a decisive, fast-moving litigator who takes ownership of a matter the moment it lands and drives it to resolution. You cut through complexity, take command of strategy, and keep matters moving. You are comfortable making quick calls under pressure, and equally comfortable showing your work when someone asks why. What separates a strong fit here from a strong résumé is this: You think in systems. You are not only closing your own files; you are sharpening the plans, templates, and playbooks that let the attorney behind you close theirs faster and better. You want autonomy, variety, and real influence over how the work gets done, not just permission to grind through more of it. At JB, “great lawyering” isn’t defined by hours worked. It is measured by execution against the plan, disciplined delivery, and visible progress and backed by systems that create clarity, consistency, and client trust. That structure exists to remove friction, not to slow you down. The attorneys who thrive here treat it as leverage and then make it better. If you are the kind of attorney who steps into the arena ready to move, lead, and build, this is exactly where you belong! **This is your seat if:** • You get restless when a file sits still and you do something about it without being asked. • You would rather fix the process that caused a problem than handle the same problem again next quarter. • You want to own the client relationship, not hand it up the chain. • You want feedback that is direct, specific, and tied to outcomes. • You want to build something; a team, a practice, a better way of doing the work, not just bill a year.
