L&W Recruiting – In Partnership With a National Plaintiffs Mesothelioma Firm

A nationally recognized plaintiff‑side law firm representing victims of mesothelioma and asbestos exposure is seeking a Plaintiffs Trial Attorney to join its Tampa office. This role offers the ability to work hybrid or fully remote, depending on experience and trial readiness.

The firm is open to attorneys with direct asbestos litigation experience or those with strong trial backgrounds in related high‑stakes practice areas such as personal injury, catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, product liability, toxic tort, or complex civil litigation.

Role Overview

The Trial Attorney will handle a mix of asbestos/mesothelioma cases, including depositions, motion practice, hearings, and trial work. You will work closely with a seasoned team of litigators, investigators, and support staff dedicated to securing justice for victims and their families.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and support all phases of litigation, including discovery, depositions, motions, and trial
• Develop case strategy in collaboration with senior attorneys
• Prepare clients, experts, and witnesses for testimony
• Conduct courtroom advocacy, including hearings and jury trials

Attorneys without asbestos experience are encouraged to apply if they have a strong trial foundation in areas such as:

• Personal Injury
• Catastrophic Injury
• Medical Malpractice
• Wrongful Death
• Product Liability
• Toxic Tort
• Complex Civil Litigation

Candidates should be confident in the courtroom, skilled at storytelling, and comfortable handling emotionally sensitive cases.

• Proven trial experience—first‑chair or significant second‑chair preferred
• Strong writing, advocacy, and case‑development skills
• Ability to work with clients facing serious illness and loss
• Desire to join a mission‑driven team focused on helping victims and families

Why Join This Firm

• Nationally respected plaintiffs practice
