Litigation Attorney

Inception Fertility - Houston | 104B
4828 Loop Central Drive
Suite 900
Houston, TX 77081, USA

Description

Every matter you touch here traces back to a family trying to grow. Inception Fertility is the parent of The Prelude Network® — the largest network of fertility centers in North America — and we are hiring a dedicated litigation and risk attorney.

You will own the litigation portfolio, the insurance program, and enterprise risk across the network. Half the job is winning the disputes in front of you. The other half is building the risk program that keeps the next one from happening.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

• Litigation. All phases of litigation, arbitration, and pre-suit disputes - medical and professional liability, employment, and commercial — directing outside counsel on strategy, budget, and resolution.
• Insurance. The full program: professional liability, general liability, D&O, EPL, cyber, and property, renewals, coverage analysis, limits, and broker and carrier relationships.
• Claims. Investigation, evaluation, reserving, and settlement negotiation within your delegated authority.
• Enterprise risk. Loss-prevention initiatives, policies, and training built with clinical quality, patient safety, and compliance — plus adverse-event review and root-cause analysis.
• Counsel to leadership. Litigation holds and discovery, risk-allocation terms in contracts, regulatory and licensing-board responses, and reporting

What is required from you:

• J.D. from an accredited law school and an active U.S. state bar license in good standing.
• 4–7 years of civil litigation experience, preferably at a firm.
• Hands-on experience managing outside counsel, claims, and insurance coverage matters.
• Working knowledge of coverage lines and the claims-handling process.
• The judgment to carry a full portfolio independently and the communication skills to advise senior leaders.

Preferred:

healthcare, medical malpractice, or professional liability experience, and a track record in risk management in a regulated industry.

WHY THIS ONE

• A build, not a maintenance job, you shape the litigation, insurance, and risk functions rather than inherit them.
• Direct line to the Chief Legal Officer and real visibility with senior leadership.
• A growing national network, so the legal questions keep changing.
• Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and travel to clinics across North America.
