Current & Future Opportunities | Confidential Career Conversations

Ready for a litigation opportunity with more responsibility and room to grow?

Aligned Talent Acquisition is always looking to connect with attorneys experienced in transportation litigation, trucking defense, and commercial vehicle accident litigation.

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 trucking companies, transportation providers, commercial carriers, and insured businesses.
• Handling commercial vehicle accidents, catastrophic injury claims, and wrongful death litigation.
• Working with accident reconstruction specialists and other expert witnesses.
• Managing discovery, depositions, motion practice, and trial preparation.
• Advising on litigation strategy, liability exposure, and settlement considerations.

Not currently practicing at an Am Law firm? I'd still love to hear from you! Experience from regional and specialized transportation defense firms is valuable.

What Could Your Next Move Offer?

Competitive compensation and bonus opportunities

Sophisticated transportation and catastrophic injury matters

Increased litigation and trial responsibility

Direct client relationships and opportunities for growth

A supportive team and stronger long-term career path

Let's Connect

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.
