Managing Attorney, Michigan

The Opportunity

We are looking for a builder, not a caretaker. The Managing Attorney is the business owner of our Michigan market, accountable for performance from the moment a case is signed through final resolution and file closure. This is not a supervisory title; it is a seat with real authority, real accountability, and real upside.

You own the state P&L: hit fee and case volume goals, align costs with growth, and bring analytical rigor to your pipeline and case mix.

You own case outcomes across the full lifecycle, from pre-suit through litigation, trial, settlement, disbursement, and file closure.

You lead litigation and trial strategy for your state, personally taking the most complex and highest-value cases to trial when appropriate.

You drive settlement performance, working toward resolution within the firm's 60-to-90-day target window.

You recruit, develop, and retain attorneys, paralegals, case managers, and support staff, building a culture of accountability and ownership.

You execute firm-wide standards and operating cadences while owning the state-specific adaptations that make them work in your market.

You ensure full legal, ethical, and compliance oversight across every function in your state.

You report to the COO with regular state performance updates and data-driven KPI tracking.
