The Role

You'll handle a steady volume of insurance defense matters, representing insureds and carriers across a range of civil litigation. You'll be actively involved in all phases of litigation — this is not a document review role. From early case evaluation through discovery, depositions, motion practice, and trial, you'll develop real litigation skills in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Defending personal injury, premises liability, auto liability, and general negligence matters
  • Drafting pleadings, motions, and discovery
  • Taking and defending depositions
  • Conducting legal research and preparing coverage analyses and case evaluations
  • Communicating directly with clients, adjusters, and opposing counsel
  • Attending hearings, mediations, and trials

What They're Looking For

  • JD from an accredited law school and active bar admission
  • 0–4 years of civil litigation experience; insurance defense background a plus but not required
  • Strong legal writing and communication skills
  • Ability to manage a high-volume caseload efficiently
  • Self-starter with a team-oriented mindset

Why This Opportunity

  • Defense firms offer something not every practice can — consistent, hands-on litigation experience from day one.
  • Associates here carry real responsibility, work closely with senior attorneys, and are supported in building the kind of well-rounded litigation foundation that defines a long-term career.
  • Compensation is competitive and includes a strong benefits package.
