Who they are
Dinsmore & Shohl LLP is a law firm—not a healthcare provider—that employs nurse consultants to support its tort and litigation practice.
More about Dinsmore & Shohl LLP
Based in Louisville, Kentucky (40202), the firm seeks nursing professionals to assist attorneys with the medical and clinical dimensions of complex litigation, including personal injury, medical malpractice, and insurance defense cases. The nurse consultant role is described as integral to case development and litigation strategy. For a nurse, working at Dinsmore would represent a departure from traditional clinical settings. Rather than direct patient care, the role centers on analyzing and translating complex medical information into clear, practical insights that attorneys can use in legal proceedings. The ideal candidate brings a strong clinical background, suggesting the firm values deep nursing expertise applied in a legal context. This is a specialized professional services environment rather than a hospital or clinic, and the nursing role is advisory/analytical in nature.
The job description emphasizes supporting attorneys through the medical and clinical aspects of complex litigation, with a focus on translating complex medical information into practical, case-supporting insights.
