Senior Counsel

Join Tyson & Mendes as an experienced Senior Counsel to handle complex insurance defense matters, mentor others, and take ownership of sophisticated cases. The role offers flexibility, autonomy, and opportunities for leadership and partnership.

What You Will Do

As Senior Counsel, you'll independently handle court appearances, depositions, briefs, and trials, and work as part of a team with all levels of experience. You'll cultivate relationships with clients, provide leadership and direction to less experienced attorneys, and develop a case theme that is more compelling than any plaintiff ploy for sympathy or anger.
