REAL COURTROOM EXPERIENCE MEETS REAL MENTORSHIP

We don’t believe in waiting years to step into meaningful legal work. At Kightlinger & Gray, our attorneys are in the courtroom early—arguing motions, examining witnesses, and shaping case strategies. If you’re passionate about litigation and committed to doing right by your clients, you’ll find a home here. We balance high-caliber legal work with a culture built on collaboration, mentorship, and Midwestern values.

WHY KIGHTLINGER & GRAY?

From your first year, you’ll work on cases that go to trial. You’ll see your advocacy skills develop in real time.

Our partners are hands-on and invested in your success. Expect regular feedback, one-on-one guidance, and an open-door culture.

We hire with the expectation that you’ll grow here. That means giving you the tools—marketing budgets, CLEs, leadership opportunities—to advance your career.

Yes, litigation is demanding. But at K&G, we value family, flexibility, and life outside the office.

While we work across many areas, we have deep roots in insurance defense litigation, insurance coverage and bad faith, professional liability, and civil rights. You’ll work alongside respected litigators, many of whom hold leadership roles in the largest defense attorney organizations in the country.

Competitive compensation, comprehensive health coverage, disability insurance, retirement plans, profit sharing, PTO, and firm-paid CLE and bar association memberships.
