Mill Valley Personal Injury Law Firm Seeking to Hire Attorney
The Zinn Law Firm is looking to hire a litigation attorney to help advance our work representing plaintiffs in personal injury and medical malpractice cases. Our firm is widely regarded as one of the top boutique personal injury firms in the Bay Area, representing plaintiffs in high value personal injury and medical malpractice lawsuits. Our team typically consists of three attorneys, two professional paralegals, and an office manager.
Job Details: This position calls for the attorney to run cases with the support of our professional staff and with the mentoring and guidance of the firm’s other attorneys as needed, and to work alongside the other attorneys on our largest cases. The attorney will handle depositions, written discovery and any pre-trial motions, working cases up from intake to settlement discussions and/or trial. The role will include extensive medical record review on accepted cases and to determine merit of potential medical malpractice cases, significant demand and mediation statement writing, extensive legal research, oral argument, and conducting jury trials. Prior trial experience is not required, but is of course helpful, as would be the ability to speak a second language, particularly Spanish.
Qualifications: The ideal candidate will have a minimum of three years’ prior plaintiff or defense-side personal injury and/or medical malpractice litigation, although we are willing to consider attorneys with strong general litigation experience who have a keen interest in doing personal injury work. We will also consider exceptionally qualified recent law school graduates who demonstrate a record or desire to pursue a career in this rewarding practice area. For all candidates, a strong academic background is beneficial, and solid writing, analytical, and communication skills are a must.
This is a good opportunity for someone who wants to build a career working at a progressive-minded law firm, advocating for clients who really need our help. We are looking for someone who would like to contribute to the continued long-term success and growth of the firm and be rewarded for that contribution accordingly. We are also open to hiring more experienced attorneys, including those with their own cases, who wish to partner with us and join our team.
Firm Culture: We offer a small firm work culture that emphasizes collegiality, professionalism, and mutual respect as we work together to help our clients. We take a strong interest in each other's professional development and value the relationships fostered with opposing counsel, judicial officers, and other individuals to achieve the best outcome for our clients.
Our office is located in Mill Valley, CA, right off the Seminary Drive Exit of Hwy. 101. We are in a large suite with spectacular water views of Richardson Bay and Mt. Tamalpais. We share the space with two other personal injury law firms who have been friends for a long time, promoting a collegial office environment. Remote work most days of the week is available, although we try to all be together in the office at least one day a week for meetings and to promote our collegial culture.
Compensation: The base salary will be $110,000-$180,000, depending on qualifications and experience. We also have an aggressive bonus program that allows attorneys to retain a percentage of the fees earned from their cases after revenue their work generates reaches a pre-determined threshold. We contribute $500 monthly toward a firm medical plan, the full cost of a dental plan, and offer two weeks of paid vacation, one week of paid sick leave, and paid major holidays. We are an equal opportunity employer and seek to promote diversity at our firm.
