About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Associate Attorney with strong Medical Malpractice Defense Litigation experience to join our well-established defense practice.

Our practice has significant existing work, with opportunities to transition established matters from retiring partners.

• Prepare cases for trial and participate in trials as experience permits.
• Manage a substantial caseload within a busy medical malpractice defense practice.

• Strong legal research, writing, advocacy, and client-service skills.
• Excellent communication, organization, and case-management abilities.
