Looking for more sophisticated defense litigation and meaningful client responsibility?

Aligned Talent Acquisition is always looking to connect with attorneys experienced in professional liability, errors and omissions, and malpractice defense.

I work primarily with Am Law 50, 100, and 200 firms, but I also frequently partner with small and midsize firms, respected regional firms, and sophisticated boutiques across multiple markets.

Experience That May Be a Fit

• Defending attorneys, accountants, insurance professionals, financial advisers, and other licensed professionals.

• Handling professional negligence and errors-and-omissions claims.

• Conducting discovery, depositions, and expert witness preparation.

• Drafting dispositive motions and developing litigation strategies.

• Evaluating professional standards, liability exposure, and damages.

Not currently practicing at an Am Law firm? I'd still love to hear from you! Attorneys from boutique and regional litigation practices are encouraged to connect.

What Could Your Next Move Offer?

More competitive compensation

Sophisticated professional liability matters

Opportunities to work closely with professional and institutional clients

Greater responsibility for case strategy and litigation management

Mentorship and long-term career advancement

Let's Connect

This is an opportunistic search, not an advertisement for one specific opening. However, I work with numerous law firms across multiple markets and may already have active opportunities that align with your experience and career goals.

Whether there's an immediate fit or we stay connected for the right opportunity down the road, I'd welcome the chance to learn more about your background, compensation expectations, and what matters most to you in your next move.

All conversations are confidential. Your resume and identifying information will never be shared with a firm without your permission.
