About The Position

Our nationwide law firm specializes in solving problems faced by entities that own or hold security interests in motor vehicles and other assets, e.g., banks, finance companies, and fleet companies. Due to the volume of cases sent to us by our clients, we are growing rapidly and looking to expand our team. We are seeking a Louisiana Licensed Attorney who is a self-starter with meticulous attention to detail, capable of managing high volume caseloads, and able to handle deadlines in a timely manner. The role requires competency in job-related technologies such as Microsoft Word, Outlook, Excel, and Teams; internet browsers; and case management software. Strong negotiation skills are essential for resolving impound lien disputes with repair shops, tow yards, and government agencies, as well as property damage claims with insurance adjusters and opposing counsel. Litigation skills are also necessary for when negotiations fail, including engaging in ADR (e.g., arbitration) or commencing litigation and handling all aspects of the lawsuit. The attorney will be responsible for timely review of new assignments, analyzing, interpreting, and evaluating all avenues to resolve cases for clients with legal/financial interest in high dollar value assets. Communication directly with interested parties, including insurance adjusters, insurance claims supervisors, attorneys, body shops, tow yards, and clients by phone and through written correspondence is required. The role involves negotiating and settling claims within discretionary authority, obtaining necessary documents and releases from clients, and confirming settlement satisfaction. All activity must be fully documented on the appropriate computer system(s), including recording all contacts, investigations, negotiations, and documentary evidence. Adherence to the Rules of Professional Conduct is mandatory.
