MNCLS is hiring a litigation attorney, and I should probably save us both some time by being direct.

This is not the right role for a lawyer who needs the courtroom spotlight, a luxury-office backdrop, or a firm culture built on hierarchy, swagger, and billable-hour worship. If that is your thing, there are plenty of places that will scratch that itch. We are not one of them.

We represent owner-operated contractors, along with homeowners dealing with bad contractors and insurance disputes involving storm, water, and fire damage. The work matters. The clients are real. The problems are real. The budgets are real too.

That means most of our cases are not matters that should go to trial. The economics do not justify it. So the lawyer we hire needs to be genuinely good at the part of litigation that actually helps clients: assessing risk, managing cases, negotiating effectively, dealing confidently with opposing counsel, and bringing matters to a sensible resolution. You need to know civ pro and the general rules of practice. You need to be able to carry a substantial docket. And you need to be comfortable practicing against dyed-in-the-wool litigators without feeling professionally deprived because you are not constantly headed for trial.

We also need this person to help lead.

Our firm is growing quickly, and the right candidate will enjoy mentoring others. That matters. I want someone who can help develop younger attorneys and team members, create consistency, support the litigation function, and grow naturally into a leadership role. Not because of title chasing, but because their judgment, steadiness, and flexibility make them the obvious choice.

Culture is a big deal here.

We are not trying to look like the law firm people expect. We respect staff as teammates, not subordinates. We care about how people work together. We take the work seriously, but not ourselves. We bring dogs to the office. We are practical people serving practical clients, and that tends to attract the right kind of lawyer.

We care about delivered value, not billable hour quotas. That does not mean low expectations. It means we are trying to build a sane, productive, client-centered practice instead of a timekeeping contest.

We are also serious about using technology well. We are a tech-forward firm, and the right candidate needs to be comfortable in that environment, especially with the responsible use of AI in practice. We do not pretend to have it all figured out, but we are ahead of most firms around us, and we are looking for someone who wants to keep pushing in that direction.

If you read this and think, finally, a firm that sounds like it lives in the real world, we should talk.

Since 1933, Stark & Stark has developed innovative legal solutions to meet our client's needs. With experienced attorneys in more than 30 practice areas, and a philosophy of putting the law to work for our clients is the basis for building and maintaining our practice.

The candidate will work on purchase and sale transactions from inception through closing, including drafting and negotiating primary and ancillary documents for M&A and similar transactions and documentation of entity formation and equity sharing arrangements. Advise clients on business structures, compliance issues, and strategic planning. Conduct due diligence on corporate, financial, and regulatory matters to identify risks and opportunities. Prepare legal opinions and memoranda on transactional and corporate matters. The candidate will work closely with other attorneys and paralegals, correspond and communicate with clients' business and legal personnel, and coordinate with attorneys across other practice disciplines.

Qualifications

• 5-7 years of practice experience required.

• Exceptional interpersonal, drafting, negotiation, written and verbal communication skills.

• Excellent organizational skills with high level of attention to detail and accuracy.

• The right candidate is an analytical thinker with a business mind.

• Strong knowledge of contract law, corporate governance, and M&A transactions.

• Demonstrated ability to work as part of a team and to interact directly with clients.

• Admission in New Jersey is required. Admission in Pennsylvania or New York is bonus.

Benefits
