Attorney

Medical Malpractice Associate or Partner | Raleigh, NC | $135,000 to $240,000

Who will be sitting next to you at your first med mal trial?

At this firm, probably the same person sitting next to you on day one.

• I’m Clark Pollins at Distinct Recruitment, hiring a medical malpractice defense attorney for a national firm’s Raleigh office.
• I know this team well. Ask me anything before you apply.

Two ways in

• Associate, toward $135,000. You’re a couple of years into litigation and want to build real deposition, motion and expert skills. Trial preparation experience helps.
• Partner, up to $240,000. You’ve taken med mal files through to trial, run experts yourself and bring a portable book. You’d come in with a partner title and a national firm behind your clients, which means the bench depth to say yes to bigger matters.
• Same practice, two levels. The range reflects where you are now.

The cases

• Hospital systems, physicians and their carriers. Every claim turns on the standard of care.
• You’ll spend serious time with medical experts and learn the medicine well enough to cross examine a physician on it.
• Heavy on reading, heavy on detail. Arguments have to survive a doctor’s scrutiny, not just opposing counsel’s.

The people

• People hardly ever leave this office. That tells you more than any website could.
• The partner who teaches you to take apart a plaintiff’s expert will still be here when you’re good at it.
• A national platform, with a Raleigh team small enough that you’ll know everyone’s name.
• The catch: openings here don’t come up often.

The practical stuff

• 1,800 billable hours.
• Hybrid. You and the team decide how your week splits.
• Licensed in North Carolina, with 2+ years of litigation experience.
• Medical malpractice experience is ideal. If you’re close but not exact, call me anyway.
