Your Next Role Could Be Bigger Than Your Caseload

Senior Counsel | Connecticut

Please note: An active Connecticut Bar license is required. Admission in New York is highly valued but not required.

Tyson & Mendes is growing in Connecticut, and we are looking for an experienced trial attorney who wants the opportunity to do more than simply join an established practice.

This is an opportunity to help grow one.

Our Connecticut practice is expanding, creating an opportunity for the right Senior Counsel to take meaningful ownership of cases, develop client relationships, help strengthen our presence in the market, and grow into greater leadership as the office develops.

You will have the autonomy expected of an experienced attorney, along with the support of accomplished trial lawyers and the resources of a national litigation firm.

If you are an experienced Connecticut defense attorney who can independently manage complex litigation, has meaningful trial experience, and is excited by the opportunity to help build something, we would love to meet you.

Why This Opportunity?

Help Build Our Connecticut Practice

We are growing our presence in Connecticut, and the attorneys who join us during this stage will have an opportunity to contribute to what the office becomes.

For the right attorney, this means more than managing cases. It is an opportunity to become a trusted senior member of the practice, help develop teams and relationships, and position yourself for greater leadership as we continue to grow.

Practice With Independence

At the Senior Counsel level, we are looking for someone who knows how to run litigation.

You will be trusted to develop case strategy, manage discovery, take and defend depositions, handle substantive motion practice, communicate directly with clients and carriers, work with experts, evaluate exposure, and prepare matters for mediation and trial.

This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who appreciates autonomy, takes initiative, and does not need someone managing every step of the process.

Work Under Exceptional Trial Leadership

Our Connecticut attorneys are led by Danielle Pascale, New York and Connecticut Branch Office Managing Partner , an accomplished trial attorney who spent 21 years as a prosecutor before transitioning to civil defense. Her extensive courtroom experience includes trying numerous felony matters and leading highly complex investigations and prosecutions.

The Connecticut practice also falls within the Northeast Region led by Cathleen Kelly Rebar, Northeast Regional Managing Partner , who brings more than two decades of complex litigation and trial experience. Her career includes significant defense results in high exposure matters, prior service as an Assistant District Attorney and Deputy Attorney General, and leadership within private practice.

Together, they bring significant courtroom experience, strong leadership, and a deep understanding of complex litigation.
