Job description

Eric Buchanan & Associates is a small, team-oriented plaintiffs' firm located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Our core values are to ethically take care of our clients, aggressively pursue our clients’ cases, take care of each other, and to continually improve our firm. Our boutique firm focuses on the narrow practice areas of helping individuals obtain disability insurance benefits, ERISA employee welfare benefits (such as life, health, or disability benefits offered through work), and similar insurance benefits. Our practice area is intellectually challenging but a perfect fit for a motivated and talented attorney, especially one who believes in an aggressive litigation approach and is interested in working in a practice area few other attorneys learn.

Our practice requires attention to detail, the ability to write well in court pleadings, the ability to manage time and tasks, and the ability to work well with people and be part of a successful team. The position offers a base salary between $65,000 and $100,000, depending on experience and qualifications, as well as the opportunity for additional bonuses for case origination and successful case resolution. We offer a four-day work week after the initial training period.

We value our team and offer*:

• Health insurance
• Bonus program
• 401k
• Paid time off
• Long term disability
• Life insurance
• Accidental death & dismemberment insurance
