We are a regional litigation firm representing businesses, insurers, and individuals in civil defense matters. Our attorneys handle cases from inception through resolution across a variety of practice areas, with a focus on practical strategy and efficient case management. We emphasize strong courtroom advocacy, clear client communication, and thoughtful risk assessment. Our team structure allows attorneys to take ownership of their matters while collaborating with experienced colleagues when needed.

• Hands‑on litigation experience early and often
• Manage files, take depositions, argue motions, attend court appearances, and work directly with clients
• Mentorship without micromanagement and encouragement for professional development through substantive responsibility
• Professional and supportive environment with flexibility and a long‑term view toward career growth

We are a growing civil litigation defense firm with offices across the East Coast, and we are expanding several of our regional teams. We are seeking experienced litigators (4+ years) who are comfortable handling insurance defense matters from inception through resolution. Our practice spans a wide range of civil defense work; attorneys are not siloed into a single narrow niche. Depending on location, the caseload may include employment defense, construction litigation, transportation/trucking, general liability, product liability, professional liability, and related complex civil matters.

We look for attorneys who can step into an active litigation role, manage files independently, and contribute to a collaborative team environment.

• Manage civil litigation defense matters from initial assignment through settlement, dispositive motion, or trial
• Draft and argue motions, pleadings, and legal memoranda
• Conduct depositions, attend hearings, mediations, and court conferences
• Develop case strategy in coordination with partners and clients
• Handle written discovery and prepare clients and witnesses
• Maintain consistent, timely billing and case reporting
• Opportunity to work across multiple categories of civil defense depending on interest and office needs

• 4–10+ years of civil litigation experience, preferably in insurance defense
• Experience in one or more of the following is helpful: employment defense, construction defect, transportation/trucking, general liability, product liability, or professional liability
• Strong motion practice and deposition experience
• Ability to manage files with increasing independence
• Trial preparation experience preferred
• Juris Doctor required
• Must be licensed in the state where you are applying; additional nearby state admissions are a plus

• Multi‑office platform with steady growth and expanding client base
• Broad litigation exposure rather than rigid departmental silos
• Direct partner access and meaningful responsibility
• Hybrid work structure (office presence required; some locations offer additional flexibility)
• Clear annual compensation and bonus cycle
• Opportunity to build long‑term litigation experience within a stable defense practice

We are looking for attorneys who want hands‑on litigation experience, consistent workflow, and room to grow within a structured defense platform.
