Senior Counsel

The posting, as Tyson & Mendes LLP wrote it

Complex Cases. Real Autonomy. Leadership That Has Your Back.

Senior Counsel | New Jersey

An active New Jersey Bar license is required.

You know New Jersey litigation. You understand the courts, the clients, the carriers, and what it takes to move a significant case from early evaluation through resolution or trial.

Now you want a practice where you can use that experience.

Tyson & Mendes is growing our New Jersey office , and we are looking for an experienced insurance defense attorney who wants sophisticated work, meaningful autonomy, and access to leadership that stays engaged without managing every decision.

Our attorneys handle complex, high exposure matters, including multimillion dollar losses, professional liability, medical malpractice, catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, and other significant civil defense litigation.

If you are a seasoned New Jersey defense attorney who likes to think ahead, take ownership, and practice with independence, we would like to meet you.

This Is a New Jersey Practice

We are looking for more than someone who happens to be admitted in New Jersey.

We want an attorney who knows how to litigate in New Jersey and brings at least five years of substantive insurance defense experience .

You understand local practice and procedure. You are comfortable with discovery, depositions, experts, substantive motion practice, client and carrier communication, mediation, and trial preparation.

Most importantly, you know how to take responsibility for a case and keep it moving.

Sophisticated Cases Without Getting Lost in Volume

Our New Jersey attorneys handle complex matters where judgment and strategy matter.

Cases may involve significant exposure, complicated liability issues, multiple parties, expert intensive litigation, professional liability, medical malpractice, catastrophic injury, and wrongful death.

The current practice is busy without being built around overwhelming file volume, allowing attorneys to spend meaningful time understanding their cases, developing strategy, and advising clients.

For an experienced litigator, that means the opportunity to practice law rather than simply process files.

Autonomy With a Leader Who Stays Connected

Our New Jersey office is led by Danielle DeGeorgio, New Jersey Branch Office Managing Partner , an experienced New Jersey litigator whose practice focuses on catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, insurance coverage, and professional malpractice.

Danielle's leadership style is built around trust, professionalism, and collaboration .

She wants experienced attorneys to practice. You will have room to develop strategy, make decisions, and take ownership of your matters without unnecessary micromanagement.

But autonomy does not mean being left on your own.

Danielle stays connected to her attorneys and cases, is available to strategize when needed, and provides guidance before a problem becomes a problem. She believes in giving good lawyers room
