Construction Defect Litigation Associate

Construction Defect Litigation Associate Denver, CO

Want to be taking depositions and standing up in court while your law school classmates are still buried in document review? A well-respected Denver litigation firm is adding several associates to its construction practice. This is a specialized, steady niche where the skills you build go with you for your whole career.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Real litigation experience early, including depositions, motions, hearings and trial preparation, not years of doc review
• Concrete, high-stakes cases involving buildings, engineering and design experts, site inspections and large-dollar claims
• A specialty that's always in demand, with steady work and expertise that travels well
• Mentorship from seasoned construction trial lawyers, with real ownership of your cases sooner than at a large firm
• A growing practice adding multiple seats, with room to grow alongside it

What You'll Do

• Handle construction defect, contract and payment disputes from early case work through resolution
• Draft pleadings, motions and written discovery
• Take and defend depositions, and work closely with experts
• Prepare cases for mediation, arbitration and trial

What You Bring

• 0 to 6 years of litigation experience, with responsibilities matched to your level
• An active Colorado law license (or eligible)
• Strong writing and analytical skills
• Interest in construction, real estate or insurance litigation. Prior construction experience is a plus but not required.

What the Firm Offers

• Competitive pay scaled to experience
• Full benefits
• A collaborative team with a clear path for growth
