• Play a key role in business development initiatives and contribute to the continued growth of the Fraud practice.
• Engage in litigation strategy, advocacy, and trial preparation for technically challenging matters.

What will help you succeed in this role?

• 4+ years PQE with experience in insurance fraud, Personal Injury or Catastrophic Injury (claimant or defendant).
• A proven track record of running a complex caseload with minimal supervision.
• Strong leadership and mentoring skills with a collaborative mindset.
