• Benefit from a competitive salary commensurate with experience plus a strong bonus structure and an excellent benefits package
• Take ownership of your cases — from discovery through trial — with the autonomy to grow as a litigator and courtroom advocate

LOCATION: This is a full-time, in-person role available in two locations: our westside Cleveland, Ohio office — a suburban setting with walkable parks, restaurants, and shops — or our Dublin, Ohio office near Bridge Park in the Columbus metro, offering an upscale, walkable environment with easy highway access. Both offices offer free parking and a lifestyle-friendly commute.

NOTE: Candidates must hold an active Ohio law license and have a minimum of 3+ years of civil litigation experience directly involving insurance-related and/or tort defense matters.
