Litigation Attorney Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a litigation attorney in Pennsylvania?

You must earn a Juris Doctor from an ABA-accredited law school and pass the Pennsylvania Bar Examination, administered by the Pennsylvania Board of Law Examiners. After passing, you complete character and fitness review and are admitted to practice by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Most litigation roles also expect clerkship, clinic, or internship experience in a courtroom setting before hire.

How much do litigation attorneys make in Pennsylvania?

Litigation attorneys in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $157,180 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $77,100 for the lowest 10% to over $323,370 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire litigation attorneys in Pennsylvania?

Employers hiring litigation attorneys in Pennsylvania right now include Morgan & Morgan, Wilson Elser, and TUCKER ARENSBERG, P.C, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Pennsylvania's concentration of large law firms, insurance carriers, and state agency legal offices means hiring is spread across private practice, in-house corporate teams, and public sector legal departments.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most litigation attorney jobs?

Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg have the most litigation attorney openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia dominates the market as home to major Am Law 200 firms and large corporate headquarters, Pittsburgh drives demand through its financial and healthcare industries, and Harrisburg generates consistent openings through state government legal offices and regulatory agencies.

Are there remote litigation attorney jobs in Pennsylvania?

Yes, but they're rare. About 82% of litigation attorney openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that courtroom appearances, depositions, and client hearings keep most litigation roles anchored to a physical location. Research, brief writing, and discovery review are the tasks most commonly offered on a remote or hybrid basis.

How can I get hired as a litigation attorney in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a judicial clerkship with a Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas or the Pennsylvania Superior Court, which provides direct courtroom exposure that firms and agencies actively recruit from. Large Philadelphia and Pittsburgh firms such as Duane Morris and Buchanan Ingersoll run associate programs that accept candidates fresh from the bar exam. Public Defender offices and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office also hire entry-level attorneys and provide hands-on trial experience faster than most private firms.

Where can I find and apply to litigation attorney jobs in Pennsylvania?

You can find and apply to litigation attorney jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current Pennsylvania openings. Find roles that match your practice area and experience level and apply directly through the listings.
