    Associate General Counsel - Litigation

     

    Crown Equipment Corporation, a family-owned international leading manufacturer, distributor, and servicer of material handling equipment, is seeking to add an experienced civil litigator to its Law Department as an Associate General Counsel. Significant first-hand experience in litigating products liability, general tort, commercial, and/or employment cases is required.

     

    The position requires the direct, hands-on management of litigation pending in federal and state courts in locations throughout the United States, and travel for in-person attendance at major proceedings. This role will be a peer of an existing close-knit team of Associate General Counsels who share an active and fast-paced case load.

     

    The successful candidate will have at least eight years of experience in litigation in a law firm setting or combined with in-house management of cases. Experience developing case strategies, drafting and arguing motions, engaging in written discovery and deposition practice, and trial involvement is required. An ability to think strategically, manage a large case load, communicate with department management, and work closely with national and local defense counsel is critical to succeeding in the role.

     

    The successful candidate must be willing to relocate to west central Ohio for this non-remote, non-hybrid position. Those unwilling to timely relocate to the area near the corporate headquarters need not apply.

    Work Authorization:

    Crown will only employ those who are legally authorized to work in the United States. This is not a position for which sponsorship will be provided. Individuals with temporary visas or who need sponsorship for work authorization now or in the future, are not eligible for hire.

     

    No agency calls please.

    Crown offers an excellent wage and benefits package for full-time employees including Health/Dental/Vision/Prescription Drug Plan, Flexible Benefits Plan, 401K Retirement Savings Plan, Life and Disability Benefits, Paid Parental Leave, Paid Holidays, Paid Vacation, Tuition Reimbursement, and much more.
