Associate Attorney
Empower Associates
A litigation-focused law firm is seeking attorneys with insurance defense experience who are interested in advancing their careers and working toward a future leadership or partnership track. The practice involves defending complex professional liability and long-term care matters while representing large healthcare organizations, medical facilities, long-term care providers, and other institutional entities, along with entertainment venues and public sector organizations.
Attorneys in this environment play an active role in litigation and courtroom proceedings rather than solely managing files. Strong performers are given opportunities to advance, cultivate client relationships, and eventually supervise teams that may include associates, paralegals, and legal support staff.
