Legal Jobs in Delaware

About the Role:

The Inkell Firm is seeking an independent and experienced attorney to handle first and second chair for medical malpractice and nursing home abuse/neglect with at least 4 years of experience to join our litigation team. If you're looking to do meaningful work in a place that respects your independence, rewards your effort, and makes room for a little fun (yes, there’s an office dog!), we’d love to meet you.

This is not necessarily a business development role—though initiative is appreciated and rewarded, you’ll be provided with a steady caseload so you can focus on achieving excellent results for clients who are at their most vulnerable - usually involving a death or catastrophic injury.

Responsibilities:

• Manage your own medical malpractice / nursing home abuse caseload
• Handle discovery, depositions, motion practice, and trial/arbitration (first or second chair depending on experience and case level) when necessary
• Maintain consistent, clear communication with clients, adjusters, and opposing counsel
• Work closely with an experienced litigation support team in a collaborative environment

Requirements:

• Licensed and in good standing in Delaware (or eligible for admission)
• 4+ years of experience in litigation with experience trying cases (medical malpractice preferred)
• Excellent written and oral advocacy skills
• Strong organizational and case management abilities
• Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team

Compensation & Perks:

• Competitive base salary with generous performance bonuses
• 4 weeks paid time off (vacation, sick, and personal days)
• 401(k) with employer match
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Flexible schedule with hybrid work setup (minimum 3 days/week in-office)
• Office dog, Mia – the real boss around here and top-tier stress reliever
• A team culture where people matter, and you're never treated like a cog in the machine

Why The Inkell Firm?

• We’re a fast-growing medical malpractice and personal injury firm with a strong reputation, great clients, and an even better team. We value integrity, hustle, and humanity. You’ll have the autonomy to run your cases, the support to thrive, and the recognition your hard work deserves.
