You will thrive in this role if you are a high-performance advocate who wants to be directly instrumental in securing life-changing results for injured people while working within a modern, data-driven legal growing law firm.

You will ensure that every file in your portfolio moves with velocity while at the same time achieving the ultimate goal of top compensation for clients.

This is a role for an experienced advocate who thrives in the courtroom and at the mediation table, bringing clarity to complex medical-legal issues and building strong evidence-based cases for clients. The Litigation Lawyer must be comfortable utilizing technology to manage the practice, adhering to standardized firm-wide workflows, and meeting rigorous performance benchmarks.
