A premier Connecticut plaintiff’s firm is expanding its team! Known for high-stakes results and a client-first approach, we are seeking a seasoned Personal Injury Attorney to help manage our thriving caseload. This isn't a replacement role—we’re growing fast and need a talented litigator to grow with us. If you’re looking for a high-performance environment that champions professional autonomy and long-term career development, we want to hear from you

The firm is seeking a self-directed attorney with a 5+ years experience in personal injury law. We need a candidate who is "resolution-ready"—someone capable of managing the entire lifecycle of a case independently. We are looking for a professional who is comfortable in their skin, certain in their legal strategy, and prepared to function as a primary advocate for our clients immediately upon arrival.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a personal injury caseload from inception through settlement or trial
• Conduct case evaluations, develop legal strategies, and advise clients accordingly
• Handle discovery, depositions, and motion practice
• Negotiate settlements with insurance carriers and opposing counsel
• Prepare cases for trial and participate in litigation proceedings as needed
• Maintain consistent communication with clients and internal team members

Qualifications

• 5–8 years of personal injury litigation experience (plaintiff-side preferred)
• Active Connecticut Bar admission (required)
• Admission in Massachusetts and/or New York is a plus, but not required
• Proven ability to independently manage a caseload
• Strong negotiation, litigation, and communication skills
• Highly organized, proactive, and results-driven

What the Firm Offers

• Competitive base salary ($100K–$140K depending on experience)
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Supportive, team-oriented environment
• Steady pipeline of cases due to continued firm growth
• Long-term career opportunity with a stable and expanding practice

Desired Candidate Profile We are searching for a dedicated professional ready to plant roots and grow with us. The firm seeks a "take-charge" attorney who:

• Seeks Longevity: Is looking for a stable, long-term career path.

• Values Independence: Prefers to manage their own work with minimal oversight.

• Drives Growth: Is eager to be a key player in a rapidly expanding, successful practice.
