Litigation Associate

Litigation Associate 

5–7 Years | Profit Sharing Opportunity

Penn & Webb PLLC | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Penn & Webb is expanding its offerings and building a litigation practice.

We are not looking for someone who wants another associate position. We are looking for a litigator who wants to build.

If you have 5 to 7 years of commercial or business litigation experience, maintain a book of business, and are ready to take ownership of your practice area, this may be the right conversation.

This role is structured for someone who:

• Brings an existing book or portable relationships

• Is confident in court and in client strategy discussions

• Wants autonomy, not layers of management

• Is motivated by growth, leadership, and long term equity possibilities

In addition to managing litigation matters, the attorney in this role will be expected to actively participate in business development and networking efforts. Penn & Webb has built a strong brand and referral network in the Pittsburgh business community, and this position is designed for someone who is motivated to build on that foundation by developing relationships, expanding their client base, and growing the firm’s litigation presence.

During the first year, the attorney will work closely with firm leadership to integrate into the firm’s existing client and referral network while building their own practice. This will include taking the lead on litigation matters, collaborating with our corporate and M&A team on dispute-related issues arising from client engagements, and actively participating in networking and business development opportunities. The goal of the first year is to establish a strong litigation pipeline, develop key referral relationships, and position the attorney as the leader of a growing litigation practice within the firm.

We are intentionally expanding litigation within a strong corporate and M&A platform. Our clients already trust us with their transactions. They want us handling their disputes as well.

Penn & Webb is a modern corporate law firm. Our clients describe us as highly communicative, excellent in our work product, and thoughtful and easy to work with. We communicate with clarity and purpose. We are responsive. We show up. And we genuinely care about the businesses we advise.

We are profitable, growing, and have built an established brand. We value strong systems and strong relationships. This is an opportunity to help shape a litigation practice inside a firm that prioritizes flexibility, autonomy, and long term growth.

You will work directly with firm leadership. You will have meaningful input into growth decisions. You will not be buried in hierarchy.

If the fit is right, this role is designed to evolve into partnership within the firm.

Compensation will reflect experience and book of business. We offer competitive base compensation, profit sharing opportunities, and a clear path toward equity.

If you are ready to build something bigger, we would welcome a conversation. Message us directly or send your resume and a brief overview of your current practice and book.
