The posting, as Tyson & Mendes LLP wrote it

Complex Cases. Strong Mentorship. Become a Better Litigator.

Associate Attorney | New Jersey

An active New Jersey Bar license is required.

The best way to become a strong litigator is to work on meaningful cases, take on real responsibility, and learn from experienced attorneys. That is what we are building at Tyson & Mendes in New Jersey.

We are seeking an Associate Attorney who wants hands-on litigation experience, meaningful mentorship, and opportunities for professional growth. Our team handles complex, high-exposure matters, including premises liability, medical malpractice, nursing home and assisted living malpractice, construction defect, automobile liability, catastrophic injury, and wrongful death.

Our ideal candidate has 5+ years of defense litigation experience , although we will consider attorneys with 2–3 years of relevant experience and additional judicial clerkship experience.

If you're looking to take ownership of cases, sharpen your litigation skills, and grow within a collaborative national firm, we'd like to meet you.

Work on Cases That Will Challenge You

This is an opportunity to develop your skills on sophisticated matters where strategy and preparation matter.

You will gain experience with discovery, depositions, substantive motion practice, expert work, case evaluation, client communication, mediation, witness preparation, and trial preparation.

As you demonstrate your capabilities, you will have opportunities to take greater ownership of your matters and become increasingly involved in case strategy and client relationships.

We want you to understand not only what needs to be done, but why it matters and what should happen next.

Learn From an Experienced New Jersey Litigator

Our New Jersey office is led by Danielle DeGeorgio, New Jersey Branch Office Managing Partner , whose practice focuses on catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, insurance coverage, and professional malpractice.

Danielle has extensive New Jersey litigation experience, including courtroom work, trial preparation, dispositive motion practice, appellate matters, and the preparation of fact and expert witnesses.

Her approach to developing attorneys balances mentorship with autonomy .

She will give you room to think, make decisions, and develop your own judgment. At the same time, she stays connected enough to provide guidance, help you strategize, and step in before you find yourself too far off course.

The goal is not to micromanage you.

The goal is to help you become increasingly capable of managing cases independently.
