Job Description

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

At DK Law, we don’t just represent our clients. We stand with them-all the way. We’re modern injury and accident attorneys who go all the way for every client, from every background. At the heart of our work is a simple but powerful belief: every client’s experience matters, and we honor it as if it were our own. From the very first call to the final resolution, we approach every case with the mindset that it’s going the distance.

That same mindset fuels our workplace culture. We’re a team of purpose-driven professionals who care deeply, move fast, and never lose sight of the human side of what we do. If you're passionate about making an impact, growing with a team that values excellence and empathy, and being part of something bigger, we’d love to meet you.

We are searching for a Senior Negotiator & Demand Writer to lead a team and tackle big cases in pre-litigation. As our Senior Demand Negotiator & Demand Writer, you will spearhead high-stakes settlement demands and negotiations, transforming complex injury cases into compelling financial recoveries. This role requires equal parts legal strategist, persuasive writer, and tenacious negotiator.
