Overview
Job Description
MED MAL DEFENSE LITIGATION SENIOR ASSOCIATE
Concord, NH | Hybrid
-------------------------------------------------------------
COMPENSATION
Base: $115,000--$125,000
Total Compensation: $125,000--$145,000+ (base + average bonus; origination credit is additional)
-------------------------------------------------------------
WHY THIS ROLE
This is the deepest medical malpractice defense bench in northern New England, at a firm that has been one of New Hampshire's most respected institutions for well over a century. The firm holds Chambers USA recognition in Medical Malpractice & Insurance Defense, national Best Law Firms recognition, and has been named one of New Hampshire's top workplaces by a leading state business publication -- the only law firm to receive that distinction. You'd join as a senior associate with immediate case ownership, a clear and actively supported path to partnership, a performance bonus that averages $10K and has reached $20K, and 5% origination credit from the start. For a med mal defense attorney who wants to actually build a practice in New Hampshire rather than manage files for someone else's, this is a serious platform.
-------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE ROLE
You'll independently manage a full caseload of complex medical malpractice defense claims: taking depositions, retaining and working with medical experts, handling court appearances, and drafting dispositive motions. Adjacent healthcare matters -- licensing and risk management -- are also part of the mix. You'll communicate directly with insurer-clients and collaborate across the firm to build internal relationships.
-------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
Experience: 3--5 years of litigation experience (flexible for the right candidate); demonstrated med mal defense experience is essential
- Proven ability to manage files independently, take depositions, and work with experts
- New Hampshire bar admission or ability to obtain it (wave-in or examination)
- No plaintiff-side medical malpractice background
Bar Admission: New Hampshire (or eligible)
Visa Sponsorship: Not available
-------------------------------------------------------------
LOGISTICS
Location: Concord, NH
Work Policy: Hybrid -- specific schedule is flexible for the right candidate
Compensation Structure: Annual performance bonus (average $10,000; has ranged up to $20,000) + 5% origination credit
