Litigation associate jobs in Cambridge, MA

Saltu is working with select litigation associates in Boston who are considering a strategic lateral move in early 2026 - whether complex commercial, appellate, white collar, L&E, or general litigation. We understand the nuances of litigation groups: trial experience, courtroom exposure, substantive writing opportunities, and long-term advancement paths. We help associates evaluate strong on-market opportunities and also develop a tailored plan to find or create off-market roles before they're posted (and before the applicant pool gets crowded). Why Saltu? Our founder is a former Kirkland and V&E attorney who built a team of colleagues uniquely tied to BigLaw and litigation boutiques. Our team is made up of alums from a variety of firms, law schools, and clerkship programs. We work with attorneys who want a thoughtful, intentional process. Every firm outreach is authorized. And you'll have at least two team members working with you to understand your pain points and build a customized target-firm strategy. Representative Review: Midlevel Lit Boutique Placement Review (NYC Vault 15 → TX Boutique) Saltu helped me move from an NYC Vault 15 to a prominent Texas lit boutique and also advised my partner in her move from an NYC Vault 15 to a top Texas firm. I liked that they were strategists over generic recruiters, and we were able to use their proprietary data, intel, and contacts to better understand the scene in Texas (which is very different from NYC). They had jobs that other recruiters didn't have because they marketed us well. We used a lot of their data to come up with a strategy, and I'm happy we chose them.
