Litigation Associate

Murphy Austin Adams Schoenfeld LLP is looking for an attorney with 3 to 6 years’ experience in litigation to join our collegial and team oriented practice, focusing on business litigation matters and labor and employment.  Who is Murphy Austin?  We are a mid-sized firm that strives to build meaningful and lasting relationships with our clients and their businesses. In order to further this goal, we hire attorneys who have a passion for what they do and who are driven to be of service to others, including their clients, their community, and other members of the firm.  Many of our attorneys started at large firms but eventually realized that bigger isn’t always better and that there are significant advantages to practicing at a smaller firm that can be nimble and not get bogged down in bureaucracy.  Murphy Austin’s attorneys are highly respected and sought after by the region’s top businesses and we recommend that you examine our website for the recognitions we have received.
