Managing Attorney: Illinois

TopDog Law is not your typical law firm. We're a nationally scaling personal injury firm built for impact and growth — owning the client experience end-to-end, from marketing and intake through litigation. We believe that world-class marketing, paired with exceptional legal talent and operations, creates better experiences and outcomes for clients and the business alike.

Over the past three years, we've grown 2–3x year over year, setting a new standard on the marketing side of the personal injury space and proving what's possible when strategy, speed, and execution align. Now we're applying that same discipline and innovation to firm operations, case management, and national scale — intentionally building the infrastructure, systems, and teams to grow without sacrificing quality, culture, or accountability.

We are a fully remote team that share trust, open communication, and a commitment to doing great work. If you love ownership, thrive in a fast-moving environment, and want to help build something exceptional, you'll feel right at home here.

We are looking for a builder, not a caretaker. The Managing Attorney is the business owner of our Illinois market, accountable for performance from the moment a case is signed through final resolution and file closure. This is not a supervisory title; it is a seat with real authority, real accountability, and real upside. The firm supplies the technology, centralized services, intake infrastructure, and regional support. You own the outcome, with significant influence over case strategy, team composition, operational cadence, state culture, and long-term growth.

• Own the state P&L: hit fee and case volume goals, align costs with growth, and bring analytical rigor to your pipeline and case mix.
• Own case outcomes across the full lifecycle, from pre-suit through litigation, trial, settlement, disbursement, and file closure.
• Lead litigation and trial strategy for your state, personally taking the most complex and highest-value cases to trial when appropriate.
• Drive settlement performance, working toward resolution within the firm's 60-to-90-day target window.
• Recruit, develop, and retain attorneys, paralegals, case managers, and support staff, building a culture of accountability and ownership.
• Execute firm-wide standards and operating cadences while owning the state-specific adaptations that make them work in your market.
• Ensure full legal, ethical, and compliance oversight across every function in your state.
• Report to the COO with regular state performance updates and data-driven KPI tracking.

• Active bar admission in Illinois required at time of hire.
• Minimum 7 to 10 years of plaintiff personal injury experience.
• Extensive experience handling cases from inception through trial and resolution.
• Demonstrated leadership and team management experience.
• Strong litigation skills, including depositions, motion practice, mediation, and trial.
• Experience handling motor vehicle, premises liability, and personal injury matters.
• A genuine business mindset, with comfort owning P&L, metrics, and operational accountability.

Total earning potential: $500,000–$1M+

• Base Salary: $300,000 – $500,000, commensurate with experience, with significant additional earning opportunity through profit sharing tied to case performance and geography.
• Compensation ranges reflect the specific market, geography, and case network size of each role.
• Benefits include: Medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, HSA, life insurance, disability coverage, paid time off, and parental leave.
