The Opportunity

Specifically, we are seeking experienced candidates who have an interest in continuing, or expanding their practice to include, representing Lawyers, Insurance Agents, Employers and other professionals. Preferably candidates for this position will have a proven trial track record, and experience at the state and federal level. Candidates should have excellent organizational skills and be able to manage a caseload independently with appropriate support.

We are extremely proud of our sophisticated Professional Liability practice, and our attorney's abilities not only to try cases, but leverage their experience and reputation to achieve excellent results and reach creative resolutions for our clients and their insurers

The Professional Liability practice group is team-work based and client focused with the opportunity for client interaction and practice growth.

Strong analytical thinking, legal writing, research, and communication skills are highly valued—and continuously refined—within our litigation groups.
