  • Mentor, train, and develop team members while fostering accountability and professional growth.

  • Maintain consistent communication with clients, providing updates and guidance throughout the pre-litigation process.

  • Evaluate cases for litigation readiness and coordinate seamless transitions to litigation counsel when necessary.

  • Collaborate with firm leadership to improve workflows, operational efficiency, and client service standards.

  • Ensure compliance with firm policies, procedures, and best practices across the pre-litigation department.

QualificationsRequired

  • Active California Bar admission in good standing.

  • Minimum of 4 years of hands-on pre-litigation experience.

  • Strong experience with demand preparation, settlement negotiations, insurance carrier communications, and case resolution.

  • Demonstrated leadership experience managing, mentoring, or supervising legal support staff.

  • Excellent negotiation skills with a track record of achieving favorable pre-suit settlements.

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.

  • Strong organizational and case management abilities with the capacity to oversee a high-volume caseload.

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

  • Commitment to working on-site in a full-time, in-office setting.

Preferred

  • Plaintiff-side personal injury experience involving motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, slip-and-fall matters, and related claims.

  • Experience handling complex or high-value pre-litigation cases.

  • Familiarity with Filevine or similar case management software.

  • Proven success developing team performance and improving operational metrics.

  • Experience transitioning cases from pre-litigation to litigation when appropriate.

  • Strong client-service mindset with a commitment to delivering an exceptional client experience.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary ranging from $150,000 to $200,000, commensurate with experience and qualifications.

  • Performance-based bonus opportunities.

  • Opportunity to lead and develop a high-performing pre-litigation team.

  • Exposure to complex and high-value personal injury matters.

  • Collaborative, team-oriented work environment with significant growth potential.

  • Long-term career advancement opportunities within a successful and expanding practice.
