FLEX Staffing & Recruiting is seeking a Commercial Litigation Attorney New Orleans on behalf of a respected boutique law firm representing sophisticated clients in complex commercial disputes. This is not a typical associate role — it is an opportunity to step into a small, selective practice led by smart, dynamic attorneys who handle challenging and intellectually engaging cases.
The firm is highly regarded in New Orleans for its ability to take on unique, high-stakes litigation. With a strong client base across industries such as finance, energy, real estate, healthcare, and technology, the work is fast-paced, varied, and intellectually rigorous. Attorneys here are not siloed into narrow roles; instead, they are trusted to contribute meaningfully to case strategy, client relationships, and courtroom advocacy from day one.
This Commercial Litigation Attorney New Orleans position is ideal for ambitious lawyers who graduated at the top of their class and want to combine the prestige of working on cutting-edge litigation with the personalized mentorship and culture of a boutique firm.
Work directly with talented young partners who are passionate about high-level commercial litigation.
Manage a caseload of complex business disputes, including drafting pleadings, motions, and appellate briefs.
Take depositions, argue motions, and contribute to arbitration, mediation, and trial preparation.
Participate in strategy sessions with clients and partners, gaining rare exposure to both the legal and business dimensions of disputes.
Handle discovery management, including electronic document review, expert witness preparation, and complex evidentiary issues.
Gain experience in unique, high-stakes cases where creative problem-solving and strategic thinking are essential.
Thrive in a small-firm environment where your contributions are recognized, and opportunities for growth are significant.
Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school.
Must have graduated in the top 25% of your law school class.
Must be licensed to practice law in Louisiana (or eligible for admission). Learn more about Louisiana State Bar Association requirements.
2–3+ years of commercial litigation experience is required.
Strong research, writing, and analytical skills, with the ability to run a case from start to finish, including:
Drafting answers, affirmative defenses, and dispositive motions.
Recognizing opportunities for exceptions, motions to dismiss, and summary judgment.
Managing deadlines in both state and federal courts.
Drafting and responding to discovery and handling large document productions.
Preparing for and conducting depositions.
Working with expert witnesses.
Participating in trial preparation and appellate strategy.
Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to work independently and think creatively in a fast-paced boutique setting.
Competitive, high-end salary commensurate with experience.
General health insurance coverage provided.
Additional benefits will be discussed with qualified candidates.
This boutique law firm offers a rare opportunity for ambitious attorneys. Unlike larger firms where associates may spend years doing back-office tasks, this role places you at the center of significant commercial litigation early in your career. You will work side-by-side with partners on cases that demand intellectual rigor and innovative solutions.
The culture emphasizes mentorship, professional development, and direct client contact. For attorneys who thrive on responsibility, want to sharpen their advocacy skills, and aspire to become leaders in litigation, this is an exceptional opportunity to advance your career.
If you are seeking a role that combines the prestige of high-level litigation with the entrepreneurial feel of a boutique environment, this Commercial Litigation Attorney New Orleans position could be the perfect fit.
If you are a top-tier candidate who thrives on complex legal work and wants to elevate your career, we want to hear from you.
