Job description

Nashville PI litigators: what would it take to move? Probably less risk than you think.

I'm working with an established plaintiff's personal injury firm hiring a Litigation Trial Attorney in Nashville. The client is confidential — I'll share the name on a call.

The biggest reason good lawyers stay put is the fear of a pay dip while they build a new book. This firm solves that:

→ No pay cut to make the move. Base salary plus a first-year guaranteed draw set to match what you're earning now.

→ Upside that grows with you. You earn 10% on the cases you handle up to a set threshold, then 15% on everything beyond it.

→ Trial work, not just file management. Mostly motor vehicle and trucking cases in active litigation, through trial prep and trial.

The profile:

• J.D. and an active Tennessee law license in good standing
• Ideally 2+ years of plaintiff or defense PI litigation
• Comfortable running a full litigation docket
• Strong writer and advocate who wants to be in the courtroom

Defense-side litigators looking to cross over are welcome to reach out as well.
