Attorney Careers

Horvitz & Levy LLP offers a unique opportunity for attorneys desiring to specialize in civil appellate practice. The firm sponsors an ongoing training program in appellate procedure and brief writing for new associates. Under the supervision of an editing attorney, new associates begin drafting appellate briefs upon joining the firm, and generally have the opportunity to participate in oral arguments soon thereafter.

With over 30 attorneys handling almost exclusively appellate matters, Horvitz & Levy LLP offers a highly congenial environment for attorneys to learn and practice appellate law.

Because of the unique nature of its appellate practice, Horvitz & Levy LLP seeks to hire attorneys with a strong interest in civil appellate work and superior legal analysis and writing skills. Generally, the firm's associates graduated near the top of their respective law school classes; worked on a law review, other journal, or participated in moot court; and have had appellate court clerkships or at least one or two years of litigation experience before joining the firm. We ordinarily do not hire associates directly out of law school, but attorneys have joined us directly from federal appellate court clerkships.

The application process begins with submission of a resume to the firm's recruiting coordinator. If an applicant's credentials appear to meet our hiring criteria, we request the submission of a legal writing sample. Those applicants whose writing is clear, concise, and well-organized are invited to proceed with interviews at the firm. Resumes submitted by mail should be sent to the firm, attention of the Recruiting Coordinator. If you are interested in submitting a resume by e-mail, please send it to hiring@horvitzlevy.com.
