Description:
About the role:The Inkell Firm is seeking an independent and experienced attorney to handle first and second chair for medical malpractice and nursing home abuse/neglect with at least 4 years of experience to join our litigation team. If you're looking to do meaningful work in a place that respects your independence, rewards your effort, and makes room for a little fun (yes, there's an office dog!), we'd love to meet you.
This is not necessarily a business development role—though initiative is appreciated and rewarded, you'll be provided with a steady caseload so you can focus on achieving excellent results for clients who are at their most vulnerable - usually involving a death or catastrophic injury.
Responsibilities:
- Manage your own medical malpractice / nursing home abuse caseload
- Handle discovery, depositions, motion practice, and trial/arbitration (first or second chair depending on experience and case level) when necessary
- Maintain consistent, clear communication with clients, adjusters, and opposing counsel
- Work closely with an experienced litigation support team in a collaborative environment
Requirements:
- Licensed and in good standing in Delaware (or eligible for admission)
- 4+ years of experience in litigation with experience trying cases (medical malpractice preferred)
- Excellent written and oral advocacy skills
- Strong organizational and case management abilities
- Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team
