4164 - Complex Disputes Associate

At Nixon Peabody, our priority is to attract, retain, and promote talented individuals from a wide range of racial, ethnic, social, economic, religious, and personal backgrounds, genders, and sexual orientations. Therefore, we encourage talented individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply.

We are seeking to hire a mid-level litigation associate to join our Chicago, IL office. The successful candidate will join our Complex Disputes Practice Group.

In accordance with applicable Federal and State laws, the anticipated annual salary range for this position is as follows.

In addition to a standard benefits package, this role may be eligible for additional contingent compensation based on an array of factors, including but not limited to: work performance, geographic location, work experience, education, and qualifications. Because such contingent compensation is not yet calculable or may be zero ($0) in some circumstances, the above-listed salary range is Nixon Peabody's good faith estimate of the annual salary it reasonably expects to pay for the position at the time of this posting.

Qualified candidates will have approximately three to five years of litigation experience. Direct responsibility is required in the following areas: drafting and responding to complex discovery requests, motions, pre-trial preparation, witness interviews, negotiating, and communicating with opposing counsel, arguing motions or appeals, conducting discovery conferences, and preparing for, defending, and conducting depositions. Illinois State Bar admission is also required. Clerkship experience preferred but not required.

The ideal candidate will be a motivated self-starter with stellar academic credentials, superb communication and writing skills, a commitment to excellence, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

More than a third of Nixon Peabody's lawyers are litigators. We have decades of experience representing clients at every level of the trial and appellate courts in our judicial system, in international forums, and mediations, arbitrations, and other methods of alternative dispute resolution.

A career at Nixon Peabody is the opportunity to do work that matters. It's a chance to use your knowledge to shape what's ahead, to innovate, to learn at a firm that taps into the power of collaboration and collective thinking.
