Job Description

Are you passionate about research, communication, and the legal industry? Do you thrive in a fast‑paced, client‑focused environment? Join our team as a Research Analyst, where you'll play a critical role in identifying, evaluating, and connecting expert witnesses with attorneys handling high‑stakes litigation.

This is a unique but demanding opportunity for individuals looking to build a career in client consulting, legal research, or professional services. Research Analysts serve as the backbone of our Expert Search service, sourcing, screening, and vetting expert witness candidates to support our attorney clients. You’ll engage with subject matter experts across industries, assessing their suitability for complex legal matters and providing data‑driven recommendations that directly impact case outcomes.

What You’ll Do

• Manage multiple cases with varying deadlines, conducting in‑depth research to understand each matter’s unique needs.
• Identify and engage with both existing contacts and new candidates to expand our network of expert professionals.
• Conduct outreach via phone and email to screen potential expert witnesses and assess their qualifications.
• Deliver thoroughly researched and well‑vetted expert recommendations tailored to clients’ litigation strategies.
• Build and maintain relationships with experts, providing insight into our process and ensuring timely follow‑up.
• Collaborate closely with internal teams to ensure seamless service delivery and an exceptional client experience.

Qualifications

• A desire for a promising career (not just a job) and a willingness to put in the time to succeed.
• A corporate internship or relevant experience is beneficial.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to engage professionally on the phone with experts and attorneys.
• A client‑focused mindset – prior customer service, research, or consulting experience is a huge plus.
• Critical thinking and attention to detail to assess expert credentials and case requirements effectively.
• A self‑motivated, competitive drive, with the ability to multitask and work autonomously.
• A collaborative, team‑oriented approach with a commitment to excellence.
• Tech‑savvy and adaptable, comfortable using cloud‑based solutions like Salesforce.
• A bachelor’s degree, in a major with research as a foundation, is beneficial but not required.

Why Join Us?

• Gain insider exposure to the legal industry and high‑profile litigation.
• Develop invaluable research and analytical skills applicable across industries.
• Work in a dynamic, fast‑paced environment where no two cases are the same.
• Be part of a team that values curiosity, innovation, and professional growth.
• In addition to best‑in‑class benefits, including a 401(k) match, we provide lunch in the office on Wednesday and Friday.

This role operates Monday – Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM CST (hybrid).
