  • Assist in settlement negotiations with opposing counsel, insurers, and other stakeholders.
  • Stay updated on the latest developments in asbestos-related law, scientific research, and industry trends to provide the best legal counsel possible.
  • Meet with clients to gather information about their asbestos/talc exposure history.

You Have:
  • Juris Doctor from an accredited law school
  • Licensed in the State of Illinois
  • 1-5 years of asbestos litigation experience (mandatory).
  • Experience with Odyssey E-Filing and/or File&Serve Illinois
  • Ability to manage multiple deadlines and prioritize effectively.
  • Trial experience is a plus

Our Benefits:
  • Comprehensive Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance Plans

  • Commuter Transit Program
  • Retirement Plan

Salary Range: $125k-$150k
