• Develop and maintain client relationships, including insurer and corporate clients; provide timely, practical legal advice and manage client expectations.
• Drive business development efforts: identify opportunities, network, participate in industry events, and contribute to proposals and pitches to grow the practice.
• Coordinate case budgets, billing, e-billing compliance, and matter management to meet firm and client requirements.
• Ensure compliance with professional and ethical rules, maintain accurate case files, and participate in firm management and decision-making as a junior partner.
• Stay current on developments in liability law and defense litigation strategies; contribute to internal trainings and CLE programs.

Qualifications

• Juris Doctorate (J.D.) from an accredited law school and active admission to the state bar (state-specific admission required).

• Strong legal research, analytical, and written advocacy skills; ability to produce clear, persuasive briefs and client communications.
• Demonstrated leadership, mentorship ability, and experience supervising junior attorneys and support staff.
• Business development aptitude: client-facing skills, networking ability, and willingness to participate in firm growth and origination activities.
• Excellent negotiation skills, sound judgment, and the ability to develop practical, cost-effective strategies for clients.
