Associate (Boston)

Block & Leviton LLP, one of the nation’s premier plaintiff-side class action boutiques, seeks to hire an associate with two to five years of experience for its corporate governance practice. We have offices in Boston, Massachusetts; Wilmington, Delaware; and San Mateo, California, and would also be open to discussing a remote working arrangement for the right candidate who is based somewhere else. There is no face-time requirement and attorneys are free to work from home or come into one of the firm’s office.

The successful candidate will join a small community of litigators working on cutting-edge matters in a progressive, welcoming, and collaborative atmosphere. She or he should be an excellent writer and creative thinker with a strong academic record. We're looking for someone with the credentials to work at a large corporate defense firm who would rather sue corporations and CEOs than represent them.

We represent investors in class actions across the country. The firm’s recent successes include achieving the largest class settlement to date on behalf of investors in a so-called “initial coin offering” of cryptocurrency and playing a prominent role in achieving a $175 million settlement in derivative litigation against directors of McKesson Corporation arising from that company’s violations of the Controlled Substances Act in connection with the opioid epidemic. The firm is also litigating claims stemming from Vince McMahon’s decision to sell WWE to his long-standing friend, Ari Emanuel.

This is an outstanding learning opportunity for an associate attorney. Because of our small size and lean staffing, the associate hired in this role will have the opportunity to gain practical experience and develop a broad range of litigation skills much earlier in her or his legal career than might be possible at most larger, defense-oriented firms.
