Are you a high-level negotiator who knows how to maximize case value AND get clients to confidently say yes?
We are a fast-growing personal injury law firm seeking an elite Pre-Litigation Settlement Negotiator to take ownership of our settlement pipeline and drive maximum case outcomes.
This is not an administrative role. This is a performance-driven position for someone who understands case value, can apply pressure on insurance carriers, and can confidently guide clients to the right decision.

- Confirm receipt of settlement demands with insurance carriers and actively follow up
- Track and manage demand status across a high-volume caseload
- Analyze offers and identify leverage points to increase value
- Negotiate aggressively and strategically with insurance adjusters
- Clearly communicate demand strategy, offers, and expectations to clients
- Advise clients on whether to settle or proceed to litigation
- Drive client confidence and secure agreement on final resolution
- Maintain accurate, real-time updates in our CRM (Filevine)
What You Must Be Exceptional At
- Negotiation: You consistently push offers higher and don’t accept weak positions
- Client Communication: You can simplify complex situations and build trust quickly
- Case Value Analysis: You understand treatment, liability, damages, and leverage
