About the Company

Legatis is an Obra Capital-backed firm that acquires and manages complex legacy tort and environmental liability portfolios. Our leadership team brings decades of litigation and insurance expertise from the largest property and casualty insurers-and unlike most firms in this space, we do not outsource. Claims management, insurance recovery, forecasting, and investments all remain in-house. We are hiring an Asbestos Claims Attorney to lead claims and litigation strategy across our portfolio. This is a senior, independent role working directly with the executive team on complex long-tail liabilities from intake through resolution.

  • ● Advise senior management on legal developments that may affect the value or resolution of claims
  • ● Lead due diligence on potential acquisitions, including assessment of claims exposures and overall portfolio valuation
  • ● Manage relationships with commercial insurers and work with chief legal counsel and allocation specialists to calculate and bill defense and indemnity allocations under applicable law
  • ● Manage claim intake, tender claims to third parties where applicable, and supervise claims vendors

Requirements

  • ● Admission to at least one state bar
  • ● 10+ years of experience defending long-tail products liability claims, including asbestos, pharmaceutical, or similar matters, and/or managing complex litigation for a corporate insured or insurance claims organization
  • ● Strong command of asbestos claims, including technical knowledge, quantitative analysis, and insurance coverage experience
  • ● Proven ability to work independently under pressure, evaluate underlying claims, and assess potential settlements
  • ● Clear, effective communication skills with senior management and external stakeholders
  • ● Financial modeling experience
  • ● Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience. Details will be discussed during the interview process.
