Compensation, bonuses, and growth
Base compensation range of $160,000 to $210,000, depending on experience and overall fit

Bonus decisions are tied to contribution and consistency rather than arbitrary or one-off factors

Who this is a good fit for
Attorneys with experience in general liability, insurance defense, or closely related litigation
Attorneys who value a respected platform and solid mentorship
Attorneys looking for long term growth, whether that means senior responsibility or upward mobility
Attorneys who want steady, substantive litigation work without constant uncertainty
