Pay: $90,000.00 - $120,000.00 per year

Why this is a great opportunity

• Join a nationally recognized plaintiff-side firm with over $4 billion recovered for injured clients — your work creates real, lasting impact
• Travel the country meeting clients and building your practice — this role offers meaningful variety and autonomy, not a desk-bound routine
• Competitive salary with a robust benefits package including health, dental, vision, 401(k), continuing education, and pet insurance
• Work in a mission-driven, socially responsible environment alongside a team of experienced attorneys and legal professionals
• Build expertise in asbestos litigation, mass torts, defective drugs and devices, and workers' comp — a specialized, marketable skill set
• Annual performance bonuses available

Location: This is a primarily field-based role with significant travel — roughly 80% of your time will be spent visiting clients, witnesses, and legal proceedings across the United States. Candidates must reside in one of the following states: Missouri, Illinois, Florida, Louisiana, California, New York, or Washington D.C. We offer one remote workday per week with four days in the office when not traveling. No relocation package is available for this position.

Note: This role requires an active law license in any U.S. state (Missouri and/or Illinois preferred) and professional-level fluency in Spanish. Candidates must also have 1+ year of attorney experience. All three are hard requirements — candidates who do not meet these criteria will not be considered.
