Who we are…
Burns White’s Healthcare Litigation Department is a growing and dynamic practice focused on the representation of long-term healthcare providers, and the defense of medical malpractice and professional liability claims. Our reputation is unmatched. We are hard working with a strong sense of teamwork and camaraderie. It’s true that our work can be demanding at times – but it is rewarding and challenging. Mentoring is important to us, and there is tremendous opportunity for team members at all levels to do substantive work. We are committed to diversity and are honored to have achieved the Mansfield Rule Certification. We are a well-established and high-functioning team of attorneys, nurses, paralegals, assistants, and trial technologists. We take client service very seriously, but our environment is casual and flexible. With us, you will work hard, learn, grow, and have fun in the process.
What sets us apart…
We are able to offer unique opportunities to attorneys who are just starting out, at mid-level, or seasoned. Excellent training is provided by experienced senior attorneys and through daily peer interactions. With a growing book of business and heavy trial schedule, attorneys have opportunities to take on a level of responsibility not often available at other firms. There is room for advancement, too, as the team is seeking to identify and develop future leaders.
