About The Position

These opportunities are focused on civil litigation defense, general liability, workers' compensation, insurance defense, premises/auto matters, and regional defense litigation. Candidates must have relevant experience, be comfortable with discovery, motions, depositions, and client reporting, possess relevant bar admission, and be able to manage deadlines and caseloads. These roles are not suitable for transactional-only attorneys, candidates with no litigation exposure, attorneys who do not want insurer/carrier-facing work, or candidates seeking plaintiff-only practices. The roles are grouped because the same candidate audience could reasonably match more than one opening.
