What Success Looks Like: First 6–12 Months

Within your first six months, you’ll manage your own pre-litigation caseload with guidance from experienced attorneys. You’ll build strong client relationships, identify liability and coverage issues, evaluate medical treatment and damages, review demand packages, and negotiate with insurance adjusters. You’ll also become proficient with Litify, our AI tools, and the systems we use to keep cases moving and clients informed.

By your first year, you’ll independently manage a growing pre-litigation caseload, make sound recommendations on settlement value and strategy, and consistently follow through on your cases. You’ll work closely with your paralegal, recognize when a case needs litigation, and coordinate a thorough handoff to the litigation team. Most importantly, clients and teammates will know they can count on you.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Manage personal injury cases from intake through pre-suit resolution.

• Build relationships with clients, explain the process, provide updates, and help them make informed decisions.

• Evaluate liability, insurance coverage, causation, damages, and settlement value.

• Review police reports, witness statements, photographs, medical records, bills, insurance policies, and other evidence.

• Direct case development and work with your dedicated paralegal to obtain missing information and keep files moving.

• Monitor medical treatment and identify issues that may affect a client’s claim.

• Review, revise, and approve demand letters and settlement packages.

• Negotiate with insurance adjusters and communicate settlement offers and recommendations to clients.

• Oversee lien identification and resolution with support from the team.

• Track deadlines, including statutes of limitation, and identify cases that require litigation early enough to protect the client’s interests.

• Maintain accurate case notes, tasks, and records in Litify.

• Use technology, automation, and AI responsibly to improve efficiency and client service.

• Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school.

• Licensed to practice law in Illinois and in good standing by the start date.

• Recent graduates and newly licensed attorneys are encouraged to apply. Prior attorney experience is not required.

• Strong writing, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

• Excellent verbal and written communication.

• Ability to manage multiple cases, competing priorities, and deadlines.

• Strong organization, attention to detail, and follow-through.

• Comfortable learning and using case management software, AI tools, and other technology.

• Ability to work effectively in a remote environment while staying responsive and connected to the team.

• Willingness to ask questions, accept feedback, and take responsibility for your work.

• A commitment to treating clients and teammates with empathy and respect.

Preferred Qualifications

• Internship, clerkship, externship, or law clinic experience involving personal injury, insurance claims, or civil litigation.

• Experience reviewing medical records, preparing demands, or communicating with insurance adjusters.

• Familiarity with Litify, Salesforce, or other case management software.

• Bilingual in English and Spanish.

• A demonstrated record of leadership, initiative, and ownership.

• A desire to build a long-term career representing injured people.
