About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Associate Attorney with strong medical malpractice defense litigation experience to join our established defense practice. This is a long-term opportunity for an attorney looking to take ownership of a substantial caseload and build toward a future leadership or partnership role. Our practice has significant existing work, with opportunities to transition established matters from retiring partners.

Key Responsibilities

• Defend medical malpractice cases from inception through resolution.
• Take responsibility for assigned files and litigation strategy.
• Manage discovery, depositions, motions, hearings, experts, and case preparation.
• Communicate directly with clients, insurers, opposing counsel, experts, and courts.
• Prepare cases for trial and participate in trials as experience permits.
• Manage a substantial caseload within a busy medical malpractice defense practice.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years of medical malpractice defense litigation experience.
• Defense-side experience is required; plaintiff-side medical malpractice experience alone is not a fit.
• Demonstrated ability to manage cases from inception through resolution with full file responsibility.
• Trial experience preferred.
• Strong legal research, writing, advocacy, and client-service skills.
• Excellent communication, organization, and case-management abilities.

Additional relevant experience may be considered, with salary flexibility for the right candidate.
