Job description

Position: Personal Injury Litigation Attorney

Location: Chantilly, Virginia (Hybrid)

Employment Type: Full-Time, Permanent

Compensation: $100,000 to $120,000 base, up to $130,000 for an exceptional candidate, plus uncapped quarterly commissions and separate origination fees

About Our Client:

A Northern Virginia litigation firm is looking for an attorney to take ownership of an active plaintiff personal injury docket. You'll shape case strategy, lead negotiations and take cases to trial when the facts call for it. Dedicated case management and litigation support will help you move cases from intake to resolution.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Evaluate liability and damages, develop case strategy and keep clients informed at every stage.
• Draft pleadings, motions, discovery and demands. Take and defend depositions, appear at hearings and represent clients at mediation and trial.
• Negotiate with adjusters and defense counsel and work with medical providers and experts to build your cases.
• Work with your support team on records, filings, deadlines and trial preparation.

What They're Looking For:

Must-Haves:

• Active Virginia bar admission in good standing.
• Plaintiff personal injury experience with hands-on litigation exposure and case ownership. The firm welcomes attorneys with one to three years of PI experience as well as seasoned litigators. Prosecutors with substantial independent trial experience may also be considered for a transition into plaintiff PI.
• Strong writing, advocacy, negotiation and client communication skills, with the ability to manage a busy docket.

Nice-to-Haves:

• First-chair jury or bench trials taken to verdict. The firm also considers the courtroom work and litigation responsibilities you've handled independently.
• Additional bar admission in Maryland, Washington, D.C., New York or Florida. Spanish and English bilingual ability is also an asset.

Why This Role?

• Step into an active caseload and make the strategy decisions that move cases toward settlement or trial.
• Work with case management and litigation staff who help coordinate records, discovery and trial preparation.
• Work remotely one day a week once your docket is running. A second remote day may be approved after six months based on demonstrated remote productivity.

Compensation:

• Base Salary: $100,000 to $120,000, up to $130,000 for an exceptional candidate.
• Quarterly Commissions: Uncapped, based on eligible fees collected above a quarterly threshold.
• Origination Fees: Additional pay on cases you bring in.
• First-Year Earnings: Estimated potential of $150,000 in first-year total cash compensation, including base salary and uncapped quarterly commissions. Actual earnings depend on production and eligible fee collections.
• Employer-paid health, dental and vision premiums for employee coverage, a 4% 401(k) employer match after one year, and three weeks of PTO plus firm holidays.
• Firm-paid Virginia State Bar dues and CLE, plus mileage reimbursement.
