• Discovery: Conduct and defend depositions and manage written discovery.
• Advocacy: Attend mediations and assist with trial strategy for workers' comp and liability cases.
• Reporting: Work directly with insurance carriers to provide strategic case evaluations.

• J.D. with 1–3 years of litigation experience (Insurance Defense preferred; Judicial Clerks encouraged to apply).
• VA Bar Admission is required.
• TN Bar Admission is a significant plus (especially for the Bristol location).
