Complex Pre-Litigation Attorney - Founding Partner Referral Team

Bachus & Schanker, LLC is seeking an experienced Complex Personal Injury Pre-Litigation Attorney to work directly with one of our founding partners in running and handling our founding partner’s direct-referral and high-value personal injury cases. This is an opportunity to do deeply meaningful work for people when they need it most. There are few things more rewarding than getting to know a client and their family, helping them through a difficult time, and ultimately seeing the difference your work can make in their lives. In this role, you will have the opportunity to build real relationships with clients, become someone they know and trust, and advocate for them from the beginning of their case through resolution. For an attorney who finds purpose in helping people, connecting with clients, and being a trusted advocate during an important time in their lives, this is an incredibly rewarding role. You will have the opportunity to work with our exceptional team and deploy the full resources of the firm to investigate cases, identify the right experts, develop winning strategies, and achieve outstanding results for our clients! This is an important role within our firm. Many of these clients come to Bachus & Schanker through direct relationships and referrals to a founding partner, and we are looking for an attorney who understands the level of legal judgment, responsiveness, and personal attention those relationships require. The ideal individual is an experienced personal injury attorney who genuinely enjoys pre-litigation practice, including developing cases, working closely with clients, analyzing liability and damages, identifying all available sources of recovery, negotiating with insurance carriers, and helping injured clients navigate what can be one of the most difficult periods of their lives. You will work closely with a founding partner while managing a portfolio of general negligence personal injury matters, including direct-referral cases and significant injury claims. As part of this role, you will personally connect with prospective clients and help guide them through the initial stages of working with our firm. This includes conducting new client intakes and consultations by telephone, Zoom, and, when appropriate, in person. You should be comfortable speaking directly with prospective clients, evaluating potential claims, answering questions, and creating a strong client experience from the very first interaction with the Firm. Our cases are more than files and deadlines. They involve people who are often reaching out to us on some of the worst days of their lives. Many of our clients have experienced wrongful death, catastrophic injury, serious injury, or profound trauma, and they need more than an attorney who understands the law. They need an advocate, a listener, a steady presence, and someone they can rely on. We are looking for an attorney who understands the depth of this work and is committed to living up to the trust our clients place in us. Reliability, compassion, communication, and genuine advocacy are not simply qualities we hope to find in our team, rather they are promises we make to the people we serve.

This role is particularly well suited for an attorney who enjoys the strategy and client relationships involved in pre-litigation personal injury practice and wants to handle meaningful cases as part of an experienced and highly collaborative team.
