Drake Narup & Mead, P.C. - Civil Trial Lawyer Job Posting

Drake Narup & Mead, P.C., a small defense, and plaintiff civil trial firm, is currently seeking a lateral, potentially partner-level, experienced civil trial lawyer.  An Illinois license is required as well as good standing with ARDC.  We are looking for a trial lawyer with at least 1-3 years’ experience with civil tort litigation, who can step in and immediately assist with cases against some of the best trial lawyers in the State.  Professional liability trial experience is preferred, but not required.

This is an ideal opportunity for experienced trial attorneys looking to make a change from their current employment, with an interest in gaining further experience in general civil litigation, primarily but not exclusively defense, particularly in cases involving medical and legal malpractice and insurance defense and coverage analysis for major insurance companies.  It is an excellent opportunity for a trial lawyer to break into the professional liability practice realm.  This is also an opportunity for less experienced lawyers who know their way around a tort case but who haven’t yet tried a jury trial, but who want to learn. 

Duties include:

  • Research, Drafting Motions and appearing in court, live and by zoom, for hearings

  • Developing good client rapport with existing clients

  • Assisting in all phases of civil litigation from intake to trial and possibly appeal

  • Traveling throughout central Illinois handling small claims cases and trials in subrogation

This position requires:

  • Good standing with the Illinois bar

  • Strong research and writing skills

  • Ability to work well with others in the firm and with our clients’ professional staff

  • Strong analytical skills

  • Reliable transportation and willingness to travel

  • Jury Trial experience preferred but not required

  • Healthcare law background preferred but not required.

  • We enjoy a cooperative, friendly and “laid back” work environment.
