Job Description

Senior Litigation Attorney, In-House (10+ Years)

Cincinnati, OH | Full-Time

Run the litigation strategy rather than just executing it. This senior in-house role directs lawsuits, investigations and disputes for a major national enterprise, manages outside firms, and reports risk straight to senior leadership.

On behalf of a prominent national retail enterprise, Protem Legal is seeking a Senior Litigation Attorney for its in-house legal team.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Direct litigation strategy across commercial, regulatory and employment disputes
• Manage outside counsel, budgets and settlements
• Advise senior management directly
• High autonomy for a seasoned litigator

About the Role

You'll manage litigation, arbitration, mediation, appeals and pre-suit disputes with internal clients. You'll set strategy, oversee outside firms and their billing, assess exposure, and help train the business on legal issues, all with minimal supervision.

What You'll Do

• Direct strategy for lawsuits, investigations and pre-litigation disputes
• Manage outside law firms, including fee negotiation, billing review and performance
• Assess risk and report exposure and compliance concerns to senior leadership
• Implement legal holds and oversee e-discovery
• Approve or recommend settlements and take part in mediations
• Work with HR, Compliance and Operations on evidence and strategy

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of litigation experience, including managing complex cases and teams
• Admission to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
• Excellent writing skills and the ability to work with minimal supervision
• Strong business judgment and practical problem solving
• Ability to juggle multiple matters and work well with internal clients

Helpful Experience

• Experience with commercial, regulatory and employment disputes
• Familiarity with e-billing tools such as Legal Tracker

Work Environment

A full-time in-house role advising internal business clients.

Compensation

Pay will be discussed during the interview process and is based on qualifications and experience.
