Litigation Partner, Medical Malpractice Defense

Litigation Partner, Medical Malpractice Defense | Miami, FL | $200,000+ | Medical Malpractice

Surgeons don't choose defense lawyers from a panel list. They choose the one who sat with them before their deposition, understood the operative note better than the plaintiff's expert, and made them feel heard.

If that's the reputation you've built, this conversation is worth having.

I'm Ryan Jaiswal at Distinct Recruitment, hiring a medical malpractice defense partner for an insurance defense firm in Miami.

The practice

• Defending physicians, hospitals, surgical centers and other healthcare providers

• Leading high exposure matters from investigation through trial

• Directing expert strategy and cross examining the other side's experts

• Mentoring associates who want to become med mal trial lawyers

• Hybrid, Miami, 1,950 billable hours

What the firm is looking for

• Florida Bar member with significant medical malpractice defense experience

• First chair trial experience

• Relationships with healthcare clients, carriers or risk managers are welcome but not essential

Business

A portable book is preferred, but it isn't required. Plenty of excellent med mal partners have spent their careers trying cases for clients someone else originated. The firm understands that and values trial skill accordingly.

Compensation

$200,000+, with the final figure negotiable depending on your book.

Why partners talk to me about moves like this

• More say over how cases are staffed and run

• A team that wants your trial experience passed on, not hoarded

• Clients who care about who stands up in court, not just who answers the phone

• The chance to shape the next generation of med mal trial lawyers at the firm

Medical malpractice defense at partner level is as much about judgment as advocacy. Knowing when an expert will hold, when a case needs trying and when a physician needs reassurance more than strategy. Those instincts take years to build, and they deserve a platform that uses them fully.

Partner level conversations are best handled quietly. Call me privately on 786 891 0610, or connect with me, Ryan Jaiswal at Distinct Recruitment, on LinkedIn and I'll reach out. My calendar is at https://calendly.com/ryanjaiswal if you'd like a confidential call before applying, or a session after you've applied to talk through your application.
