Plaintiff’s Litigation Attorney – Complex Injury & Wrongful Death

I am working directly with leadership at a well-established plaintiff-side litigation firm seeking an experienced Plaintiff’s Litigation Attorney to join its Atlanta office. This opportunity focuses on complex personal injury, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and other high-exposure liability matters. While catastrophic injury experience is preferred, the firm is open to attorneys with strong civil litigation backgrounds, including defense-side experience, who are interested in transitioning to plaintiff work. The firm provides a structured support system that allows attorneys to focus on litigation strategy, client advocacy, case development, depositions, hearings, mediation, and trial preparation.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Plaintiff’s Litigation Attorney who wants meaningful litigation responsibility, sophisticated plaintiff-side work, and long-term growth within a well-resourced litigation environment. Compensation is market-competitive and commensurate with experience, with a generous performance-based bonus structure.

What We Need

• 5+ years of experience in personal injury litigation, preferably with exposure to catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and/or complex liability matters (catastrophic injury experience preferred but not required)

• Experience managing cases from lawsuit filing through resolution, with a focus on active litigation

• Courtroom experience, including arguing hearings and handling key litigation events

• Experience taking and defending expert depositions, including medical experts, economists, liability experts, and industry specialists

• Strong understanding of liability issues involving catastrophic injury claims, commercial defendants, and multi-party litigation

• Ability to manage a litigation docket, typically 30–55 cases depending on complexity

• Comfort working in a structured, metrics-driven environment with accountability

• Demonstrated stability in work history and ability to operate within a team-based system

• Plaintiff-side experience is ideal; candidates with strong civil defense backgrounds (including high-exposure injury or commercial auto) are encouraged to apply

• Trial experience or meaningful second-chair experience strongly preferred

• Experience handling high-exposure injury matters is highly valued

• Bilingual Spanish/English preferred, but not required

What You’ll Get

• Competitive compensation based on experience

• Generous performance-based bonus structure

• Hybrid schedule

• Structured support from litigation assistants, scheduling paralegals, and litigation paralegals handling substantive drafting

• Dedicated trial support, including second-chair support, IT support, and case-specific technical resources

• Access to internal medical teams, client support services, and specialized litigation resources

• Opportunity to focus on high-value catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases

• One-year structured training program with ongoing professional development and a clear path to leadership, including managing attorney opportunities and team oversight

• Professional, organized, and collaborative team environment
