THE OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a builder, not a caretaker. The Managing Attorney is the
business owner of our Illinois market, accountable for performance from the
moment a case is signed through final resolution and file closure. This is not a
supervisory title; it is a seat with real authority, real accountability, and
real upside. The firm supplies the technology, centralized services, intake
infrastructure, and regional support. You own the outcome, with significant
influence over case strategy, team composition, operational cadence, state
culture, and long-term growth.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
* Own the state P&L: hit fee and case volume goals, align costs with growth,
and bring analytical rigor to your pipeline and case mix.
* Own case outcomes across the full lifecycle, from pre-suit through
litigation, trial, settlement, disbursement, and file closure.
* Lead litigation and trial strategy for your state, personally taking the most
complex and highest-value cases to trial when appropriate.
* Drive settlement performance, working toward resolution within the firm's
60-to-90-day target window.
* Recruit, develop, and retain attorneys, paralegals, case managers, and
support staff, building a culture of accountability and ownership.
* Execute firm-wide standards and operating cadences while owning the
state-specific adaptations that make them work in your market.
* Ensure full legal, ethical, and compliance oversight across every function in
your state.
* Report to the COO with regular state performance updates and data-driven KPI
tracking.
WHAT YOU BRING
* Active bar admission in Illinois required at time of hire.
* Minimum 7 to 10 years of plaintiff personal injury experience.
* Extensive experience handling cases from inception through trial and
resolution.
* Demonstrated leadership and team management experience.
* Strong litigation skills, including depositions, motion practice, mediation,
and trial.
* Experience handling motor vehicle, premises liability, and personal injury
matters.
* A genuine business mindset, with comfort owning P&L, metrics, and operational
accountability.
WHAT WE OFFER
Total earning potential: $500,000–$1M+
* Base Salary: $300,000 – $500,000, commensurate with experience, with
significant additional earning opportunity through profit sharing tied to
case performance and geography.
* Compensation ranges reflect the specific market, geography, and case network
size of each role.
* Benefits include: Medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company
match, HSA, life insurance, disability coverage, paid time off, and parental
leave.
