Defense litigation firm across personal injury, maritime, and commercial disputes
Hamilton Miller & Birthisel is a 201–500 person defense litigation firm managing high-volume litigation across personal injury, maritime, insurance, and commercial claims. The firm is actively scaling legal capacity and financial operations—hiring across 9 senior, 8 junior, and 7 mid-level roles—while simultaneously building financial infrastructure and partner compensation models. Pain points cluster around recruiting top legal talent across jurisdictions, operational inefficiencies, and past-due balance collection, suggesting growth is outpacing operational maturity.
