Rideshare Litigation Attorney
About the role
We are a modern, litigation-focused insurance defense firm representing national and regional carriers, as well as Transportation Network Companies and their drivers, in complex liability matters across California. Our practice is built around high-exposure auto and bodily injury defense, with a strong emphasis on the evolving legal landscape surrounding rideshare platforms such as Uber and Lyft. Our attorneys operate in a highly collaborative, fully remote environment supported by streamlined systems, responsive leadership, and a litigation team that values efficiency, accountability, and strong advocacy. We prioritize practical strategy, early case assessment, and results-driven representation while maintaining a sustainable and flexible work culture.
Why join us
This is a chance to step into a specialized and growing niche within insurance defense—rideshare litigation—where the legal and coverage issues are constantly evolving. You'll have the autonomy to manage your own caseload while working alongside attorneys who understand the nuances of TNC defense and complex liability. We offer the flexibility of fully remote work without sacrificing support or resources, along with competitive compensation and a clear path for professional growth. If you're looking for a role where you can sharpen your litigation skills, handle sophisticated matters, and avoid the rigidity of traditional firm structures, this is a strong platform to do it.
