The Managing Attorney will provide leadership and strategic oversight to approximately 15 attorneys across the firm's litigation, pre-litigation, and medical malpractice practices. This role is focused primarily on attorney leadership, case strategy, quality control, and professional development rather than maintaining a large personal caseload.

• Assist with attorney onboarding, training, and continued development.
• Partner with firm leadership to improve workflows, processes, and overall legal operations.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, accountability, and client outcomes.
• Utilize Neos case management software and leverage technology to improve legal operations.

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of plaintiff personal injury experience.
• Experience handling a wide variety of personal injury matters, including but not limited to motor vehicle accidents, catastrophic injury claims, premises liability, product liability, wrongful death, and other complex negligence matters. 
  
• Active Michigan Bar license in good standing.
• Previous experience managing and mentoring attorneys is required.
• Strong personal injury litigation and case strategy experience.
• Proven leadership and people-management skills.
• Excellent communication, organization, and decision-making abilities.
• Tech-savvy and comfortable using case management technology, including Neos.
• Strategic, collaborative, and solutions-oriented leadership style.

Why This Opportunity?

• $225,000–$275,000 base salary
• Opportunity to build your own book of business
• Lead and develop a team of 15 attorneys
• Newly created leadership position with opportunity to make a meaningful impact
• Strong support from firm leadership
• Established firm with a steady pipeline of quality cases
• Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance
• 401(k) with employer contribution
• Paid time off and holidays
• Professional development opportunities
• Collaborative, team-oriented culture
