Pre-Suit Attorney

About The Role As an Associate Attorney in our growing Pre Litigation Time-Limited Demand group, you will handle fast-moving pre-suit settlements at scale, focusing on time-limited demands, proactive tenders, and global settlements.

You will have the best of both worlds: the ability to practice law, negotiate settlements, and make real decisions that impact high-value claims—without having to set foot in a courtroom.
