Litigation Partner, General Liability Defense

Litigation Partner, General Liability Defense | Boca Raton, FL | $200,000+ | General Liability DefenseA partner title should change your week, not just your email signature.For a lot of general liability partners in Florida, it doesn't. The caseload is the same, the say over strategy is the same, and the main difference is a longer list of things you're responsible for. If you made partner and quietly wondered what exactly had changed, this is worth five minutes.I'm Ryan Jaiswal at Distinct Recruitment.
