Senior Trial Attorney

Owaynat Law Group – Downers Grove / Chicagoland

Full-Time

The Owaynat Law Group is a fast growing plaintiff personal injury firm focused on serious cases and real trial work. We’re looking for an experienced trial attorney to join our team.

We are not a settlement mill. We prepare cases for trial — and love to try them to verdict.

This role is for a seasoned plaintiff lawyer with at least 10 full civil jury trials as first chair, and loves to be in a court room. You will try cases alongside firm leadership, working as part of a true trial team. You’ll have strong support staff, organized systems, and high-value cases that are built for litigation.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and co-try significant personal injury cases with firm leadership
• Shape litigation strategy from filing through verdict
• Take and defend fact and expert depositions
• Draft and argue substantive motions
• Conduct jury selection, openings, closings, and witness examinations
• Drive trial preparation and mediation strategy
• Train staff and associate attorneys
• All other Pre-suit and litigation tasks geared towards getting the clients justice

What We’re Looking For

• Illinois license in good standing
• Minimum 10 first-chair civil jury trials
• Strong courtroom presence
• Experience handling experts and complex litigation
• Collaborative mindset and trial confidence

What We Offer

• Competitive base compensation
• Performance-based incentives tied to case outcomes
• High-value, meaningful cases
• Experienced and reliable support staff
• 401(k), health and dental insurance
• Malpractice coverage
• Free parking and full gym membership in the Esplanade building

If you’re a trial lawyer who wants to actually try cases — and do it with a team that’s building something serious — we’d welcome a conversation.

Please submit your resume and jury trial list (first-chair only).
