Tips for Your Litigation Attorney Job Search
Tailor your resume to the forum
Litigation attorneys are hired for specific practice areas, so a general resume won't cut it. Lead with your most relevant courtroom experience, name the courts you've appeared in, and list case types you've handled from first chair to verdict or settlement.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists litigation attorney openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Quantify your litigation outcomes concretely
Vague phrases like 'managed complex litigation' don't distinguish you. Name the number of matters you handled simultaneously, whether you took cases to trial, and any notable outcomes such as favorable verdicts, dismissals, or settlements you negotiated.
Research the firm's docket before interviewing
Look up recent cases the firm or company has litigated through court records and legal news. Referencing a specific ongoing matter or a recent appellate decision during your interview signals genuine interest and shows you can hit the ground running.
Negotiate your title alongside compensation
At litigation-heavy firms, title signals your courtroom authority to clients and opposing counsel. If you've had first-chair trial experience, push for a title that reflects it rather than accepting a generic associate designation that undersells your record.
Follow up with a writing sample angle
After your interview, send a brief follow-up that references a legal issue discussed and attaches a relevant writing sample you didn't initially provide. It reinforces your analytical voice and keeps your candidacy active without a generic thank-you note.
Litigation Attorney Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most litigation attorneys?
The companies hiring the most litigation attorneys right now include Epic, Marks, O'Neill, O'Brien, Doherty & Kelly P.C., and Jobot, with the largest share of openings in New York, California, and Delaware, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Corporate legal departments and regional litigation boutiques consistently account for a large portion of active postings alongside national firms.
How many litigation attorney jobs are remote?
About 22% of litigation attorney openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, which is lower than most legal specialties given the courtroom and deposition demands of the role. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote flexibility include document review, appellate work, and pre-litigation advisory roles where in-person appearances are less frequent.
How do you become a litigation attorney?
You start by earning a Juris Doctor from an accredited law school, then pass the bar exam in the state where you plan to practice. From there, you build courtroom experience through clerkships, public defender or prosecutor positions, or associate roles at litigation firms. Consistent exposure to depositions, motion practice, and trial work is what advances you from associate to senior litigator over time.
How do you get hired as a litigation attorney with little experience?
Focus on roles that explicitly welcome new admittees, such as public agency positions, legal aid organizations, and smaller plaintiff-side firms where junior attorneys get earlier courtroom exposure. Highlight law school clinic work, moot court participation, and any externships where you drafted real pleadings or assisted at hearings. A strong writing sample that shows analytical precision often matters more than years of experience at the entry level.
What does the litigation attorney interview process look like?
Most litigation attorney interviews begin with a screening call focused on your practice area experience and case types. This is followed by one or more rounds with senior attorneys or partners who probe your trial experience, how you manage discovery disputes, and your approach to case strategy. Many employers also request a writing sample, and some conduct a short hypothetical exercise to assess how you think through litigation problems under pressure.
Where can I find and apply to litigation attorney jobs?
You can find and apply to litigation attorney jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your practice area and experience level, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
