Look, we get it. Litigation is tough. Clients are demanding. Partners are... well, partners. But it doesn't have to be soul-crushing! Come work with us and rediscover the joy of lawyering. We've got interesting cases, a supportive team, and a firm belief that happy lawyers make better lawyers (and less grumpy humans).
Who are we: West & Dunn is a small law firm based out of Southern Wisconsin. In addition to our civil litigation practice, we also maintain practices in the areas of business transactions, criminal defense, and veterans disability benefits. Although we represent all types of clients, we maintain a particular focus on assisting veterans of the United States Armed Services. Litigation work is performed in all state and federal courts of Wisconsin, and in other jurisdictions around the country as the needs of clients dictate.
Who are you: An attorney admitted to the bar in Wisconsin with at least five years of civil litigation experience. We are looking for someone with trial and deposition experience; good writing skills; and excellent communication habits. A willingness (or insistence) to attend a happy hour with the team doesn't hurt either. A modest book of business is helpful, but not a dealbreaker.
Expectations:
- Management of basic civil litigation matters with limited oversight
- Service as a team player on more complicated civil litigation matters
- Willingness to provide mentorship of and leadership to to more junior associates
- 1,600 hrs/year requirement
Qualifications:
- Admitted to practice in Wisconsin
