Attorney, New Verticals at Atticus · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Each month, tens of thousands of Americans seek our help for a single legal matter – applying for Social Security Disability, filing a Workers’ Compensation claim – but many of these clients are actually eligible for additional aid without ever knowing it.
Your job as Lead Attorney, New Verticals is to help us do right by these clients, helping them claim additional benefits through the social safety net. You’ll oversee the team of intake specialists who speak with clients who have secondary claims, evaluating the case facts and whether to connect them with an Atticus attorney or local attorney to provide legal advice and potentially take on their case.
This is a job that straddles the line between practicing the law and growing a business. It requires developing a strong understanding of multiple fields of law, and being able to accurately identify when we can help and when we cannot. But even more importantly, this job requires you to be an incredibly strong operator: you need to keep the big picture in mind and stay laser-focused on how we can achieve our goals, oftentimes finding outside-the-box ways to accomplish them. You will report to our General Manager of New Verticals and work closely with our CEO and Managing Attorney.
On any given day, you’ll spend your time:
Speaking with severely injured clients trying to rebuild their lives after a catastrophic accident
Sourcing and vetting local counsel in individual markets, holding a high bar for representation quality and ending relationships that fall below it
Working with our data and insights team to identify existing clients who may have unrecognized claims in adjacent fields of law, and setting the standard for which ancillary cases we take on
Building the playbook for claim types we haven't handled before, starting by screening cases yourself and eventually creating the protocol our intake specialists will run at scale
This is a rare opportunity for an attorney to join a profitable and growing public-interest law firm and take on one of our biggest priorities as a company.
