About the Firm

Our client is an established, growing plaintiff personal injury firm. They handle cases from pre-litigation through trial and are known for litigating files rather than just settling them. This is a confidential search; the firm will be named once there is mutual interest.

The Role

The firm needs an experienced New Jersey litigator who can own a personal injury caseload from a fully remote setup. Candidates must be based in New Jersey. You’ll take files from pre-suit evaluation and demand through discovery, motion practice, arbitration, mediation and trial. Paralegal and firm support keep the work focused on litigating. This is a role for someone who wants to try cases, not just process them.

• Draft and argue pleadings, Form Interrogatories, discovery demands and responses, and dispositive and non-dispositive motions under the New Jersey Court Rules

• Manage track assignments and discovery end dates, and keep files on schedule for arbitration and trial
• Build the permanent injury threshold for verbal threshold (limitation on lawsuit) cases under N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8(a), and defend against threshold motions
• Handle mandatory non-binding arbitration under R. 4:21A, and handle mediations and trials in the Superior Court, Law Division
• E-file and manage matters through eCourts

Pre-Litigation

• Evaluate liability and damages on new matters and set case strategy early
• Prepare and negotiate demands with carriers, and decide when a file should go into suit
• Track statutes of limitations and Tort Claims Act notice deadlines, including claims against public entities

Across the Caseload

• Direct and work with paralegals to keep every file moving and trial-ready
• Communicate with clients clearly and with empathy throughout the life of their case

What You Bring

• Admitted to the New Jersey bar and in good standing
• 5+ years' personal injury litigation experience, with plaintiff-side strongly preferred (strong insurance defense litigators considered)
• Real trial experience, including first-chair work or substantial trial participation
• Deep working knowledge of the New Jersey Court Rules, Law Division motion practice and eCourts
• A track record of taking and defending depositions and arguing motions
• Experience with motor vehicle, premises or construction cases is a plus
• Comfort handling both pre-litigation and litigation files
• Strong organization and judgment, with the ability to run a caseload independently and stay responsive in a remote environment
• Must reside in New Jersey

Why This Role

• 100% remote with a stable, well-resourced firm and steady case volume
• A firm that litigates and tries cases instead of pushing every file to settlement
• Paralegal support, so your time goes to practicing law
• Competitive compensation
