Litigation Partner, Bodily Injury Defense

Litigation Partner, Bodily Injury Defense | Boca Raton, FL | $200,000+ | Bodily Injury / Personal Injury

Portable books get all the attention in partner hiring. Judgment gets far less, and judgment is what carriers are really paying for when they send a serious injury file to a partner.

I'm Ryan Jaiswal at Distinct Recruitment, and I'm recruiting a bodily injury defense partner in Boca Raton for an insurance defense firm. A portable book is preferred, but it's not a requirement. If your strength is trying cases and steering difficult files to the right outcome, I want to hear from you.

The role

• Leading a bodily injury and personal injury defense practice in Boca Raton

• First chair trial work on significant exposure files

• Supervising and developing associates

• Managing relationships with carriers and claims teams

• Hybrid working, 1,950 billable hours

You

• Florida Bar member

• Extensive bodily injury defense experience, including first chair trials

• Credible with clients, steady in front of juries, and generous with your time for the lawyers you supervise

Money and book

$200,000+. If you bring a book, the number moves with it. If you don't, strong trial experience still earns serious consideration.

Where it leads

In my experience, partners who join without a book often build one faster than they expected once clients see them try cases. Carriers notice who gets results, and they ask for that lawyer by name.

The team around you

This firm gives its associates real exposure, which means the people working with you are capable and ready to take on more. That makes your life easier and your practice bigger. You spend your time on the decisions that need a partner, not redoing work that should have been right the first time.

Why now

Bodily injury defense at partner level can quietly become a holding pattern: the same files, the same clients, the same ceiling. A move to a firm that wants you to grow the practice changes that.
