Bush Seyferth PLLC, a litigation boutique with offices in Michigan and Texas, seeks associates for its growing team. Though smaller than “big law” firms, BSP Law punches well above its weight, providing nationwide litigation services with trial skills second to none. Some of America’s best-known companies look to BSP Law for successful results in product liability litigation, complex business litigation, class actions, and appeals.
An associate filling our open position should have an interest in handling product liability cases, but will also have opportunities to work in BSP Law’s other trial litigation practice areas.

Skills & Qualifications:
- 2-6 years’ experience in civil litigation, including drafting pleadings, taking depositions, and arguing motions;
- Deep thinker; efficient researcher; persuasive writer and speaker; and
- Michigan or Texas Bar License (or ability to waive in).
Job duties include:
- Identification and analysis of complex legal issues;
- Drafting and responding to discovery requests (which requires gathering, organizing, and indexing large volumes of paper and electronic materials);
- Drafting and responding to motions;
- Taking depositions and assisting with preparation of witnesses for depositions;
