Managing personal injury caseloads involving motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, wrongful death, catastrophic injury, and related tort matters
Conducting client intake and case evaluations
Drafting pleadings, discovery, motions, and demand packages
Negotiating pre-litigation settlements with carriers and opposing counsel
Taking and defending depositions
Attending hearings, mediations, arbitrations, and trial proceedings (depending on experience)
Working directly with clients throughout the lifecycle of their cases
Why join us?

Why This Opportunity:
Established plaintiff platform with strong case volume and name recognition
Existing pipeline of work — no need to build a book to be successful

Strong mentorship and growth opportunity
Multiple Virginia office options for geographic flexibility
Excellent fit for attorneys who enjoy advocacy, client interaction, and tangible case outcomes
Job Details
---------
Who They’re Looking For:
1–8+ years of litigation experience preferred
Plaintiff PI experience strongly preferred, though litigators from insurance defense or adjacent civil litigation backgrounds with genuine interest in plaintiff-side work may be considered
Virginia bar admission required (or ability to waive in, depending on background)
Strong writing, advocacy, negotiation, and client-facing skills
Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume, client-centric environment
