Job Description

Not looking for another job?

Good.

We're not looking for another attorney.

We're looking for a litigation leader.

At T. Madden & Associates , we're building something different. We are a growing plaintiff personal injury firm seeking an experienced litigation attorney who wants more than a caseload. They want influence, leadership, autonomy, and the opportunity to build something meaningful.

Whether you are an established trial attorney, an experienced litigator ready for a larger platform, or a proven first-chair trial lawyer seeking the next step toward firm leadership, we want to talk.

This role offers the opportunity to manage high-value personal injury litigation, help shape firm strategy, mentor attorneys and staff, and directly impact the growth of our litigation practice.

We care far more about outcomes than office chairs, and we enjoy a hybrid schedule with flexibility to work remotely while maintaining meaningful collaboration with your team.

We care about results, not where your laptop happens to be.

• Direct access to firm decision-makers
• Meaningful trial opportunities

• Attorneys with existing referral relationships, books of business, or self-generated cases are strongly encouraged to apply. Significant additional compensation is available for business development and case origination.

$190,000 - $225,000
