Job Description
We are working with a dynamic and rapidly growing boutique law firm, located in a desirable Hartford suburb, who seeks an attorney with at least four years of civil defense litigation experience. The ideal candidate will assist in defending clients in medical malpractice defense matters as well as matters involving Department of Public Health investigations, pre-suit claims and risk management.
Their ideal candidate will contribute to day-to-day case management, which includes communicating directly with partners and clients, drafting pleadings, motions, and briefs, managing discovery, attending fact and expert depositions, court appearances, trial preparation and trials.

Medical malpractice defense experience is a plus, but not required, but the candidate should have a genuine interest in developing sophisticated experience and skills in medical malpractice defense and an interest in medical and scientific issues. The firm will consider candidates with transferable litigation skills from another civil / commercial litigation practice or candidates who work in a plaintiffs' practice with an interest in transitioning to a defense-based practice. Admission to the CT Bar is required.
The firm offers competitive salary, bonus eligibility, a wide range of benefits, including a 401(k) plan, a collegial and collaborative environment, a hybrid work schedule, a great work environment, and other perks.
