L&W Recruiting – Plaintiff Litigation Firm
A leading plaintiff‑side law firm representing victims of mesothelioma and asbestos exposure is seeking a Legal Investigator to join its team. This role is ideal for someone who is naturally curious, compassionate, and skilled at gathering facts through meaningful conversations with clients and their families.

Research job sites, products, and exposure sources relevant to asbestos cases
Work closely with attorneys to support case strategy and development
Approach every interaction with empathy, patience, and professionalism
What You Bring

Why This Role Matters
Mesothelioma cases rely heavily on personal histories and exposure details that only come from patient and family interviews. Investigators play a central role in uncovering the truth and helping families pursue justice.
