Job description

If you're starting to think about your next move, it doesn't always mean you're unhappy where you are.

Maybe you're looking for better exposure, more responsibility, a clearer progression path or simply a firm where you can see yourself developing long-term.

If that sounds familiar, this could be worth a conversation.

The Opportunity

I'm working with an established multi-practice firm that's continuing to grow its General Liability team.

They're open to attorneys at different stages of their careers, from those with a couple of years' experience looking to build their foundations, through to more experienced attorneys who want greater ownership of their matters.

One of the biggest draws is the flexibility. You can work fully remotely or, if you'd prefer a mix of home and office working, take advantage of a hybrid set-up from the firm's Connecticut office.

Whichever option works for you, you'll get exposure across different areas of litigation, alongside a realistic progression path for someone looking to build their career with the firm.

What Will You Be Doing?

• Managing general liability matters from inception through resolution
• Conducting legal research and drafting pleadings and correspondence
• Negotiating settlements and representing clients
• Handling matters across personal injury and related liability claims
• Working closely with attorneys and support staff on case strategy

The idea is to give you real responsibility while still having the support around you to continue developing.

Who Are They Looking For?

You'll need at least 2 years of general liability experience and admission to the CT Bar.

Additional admission in New Jersey, New York or Pennsylvania would be an advantage, but isn't essential.

They're looking for someone who can take ownership of their work, communicate well with clients and wants to continue growing their litigation experience.

Why Consider It?

Fully remote or hybrid working. Varied work. Genuine responsibility. And an achievable progression path.

Compensation is $130,000-$210,000+ depending on experience.
