• Demonstrated ability to lead high-stakes matters independently and/or as part of a team.
• A portable book of business ($500K+ preferred) with the desire to scale further within a supportive platform.
• Experience advising on catastrophe litigation, municipal claims, transportation liability, or fraud investigations is a plus.

Key Responsibilities:

• Represent insurers and self-insured clients in all phases of litigation, including pre-litigation strategy, coverage evaluation, discovery, motion practice, trial, and appeal.
• Provide thoughtful and strategic counsel to clients on litigation avoidance, risk exposure, and regulatory considerations.
• Collaborate with clients to provide internal training and proactive claims management solutions.
• Mentor junior attorneys and contribute to the ongoing development of practice group strengths.
• Cultivate and grow client relationships in alignment with firm values and business development goals.
