Job description

Transportation Litigation Attorney | Richmond, VA (Hybrid) | $100,000 to $165,000 base | Transportation and Logistics Defense

You know the type of file.

A delivery truck. A wet Tuesday on the interstate. A plaintiff's lawyer who sent a preservation letter before the police report was typed up.

In Virginia, contributory negligence means one fact can decide the whole case. So, whoever gets to the facts first has a real edge.

That's how this firm built its transportation practice. They give clients immediate guidance during accidents and investigations, while the evidence is still at the scene.

I'm hiring Transportation Litigation Attorneys for this Am Law 100 firm in Richmond (Williamsburg is also an option).

The role

• Defend leading transportation and logistics companies in injury, property damage and casualty cases
• Work across land, sea and air
• Run your own files from first notice, with minimal supervision
• Join a group that has argued for clients up to the U.S. Supreme Court

You

• Licensed and admitted in Virginia
• 1 to 7 years of experience, though every level is welcome
• A strong writer who enjoys research and analysis
• Trial experience is a bonus

The package

• Medical, dental, vision, 401K, PTO, disability, parental leave and life insurance
• Friendly, business casual office

The plaintiff's lawyer will still send that letter early. You'll already have the data.
