Remote (Cincinnati, OH market) | Full-Time | Remote

Own the research and drafting that powers a high-volume personal injury trial practice — Monday–Friday, 8–5, no court appearances, with a $25,000 sign-on bonus.

Protem Legal has partnered with a prominent personal injury practice to identify a Research & Writing Attorney for a remote-eligible seat posted to the Cincinnati market.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• $25,000 sign-on bonus paid over the first six months
• Pure research and writing — no court appearances required

• Health, dental, vision, life, STD/LTD and 401(k)

About the Role

You'll provide the legal analysis and drafting that support trial attorneys focused on personal injury and premises liability matters. Research New Mexico law on liability, damages, coverage and procedure; draft motions, briefs and memoranda; and help strengthen case strategy for settlement, mediation and trial — all without leaving the writing desk.

What You'll Do

• Research New Mexico and applicable law on liability, damages, coverage and procedure
• Monitor and summarize developments in case law, statutes and court rules
• Draft motions, responses, briefs and legal memoranda for pre-litigation and litigation teams
• Support discovery-related legal analysis and pleadings as needed
• Collaborate with trial attorneys and team leads on strategy and deadlines
• Deliver timely, well-supported written work that meets firm quality standards

What We're Looking For

• Active New Mexico law license, or eligibility for admission
• Strong legal research, analysis and writing skills
• Experience drafting motions, briefs, memoranda and other litigation documents
• Ability to work across multiple case teams and manage competing deadlines

Helpful Experience
