A leading national property and casualty insurance carrier is seeking an experienced Senior Trial Attorney to join its expanding Tennessee litigation team. In this position, you will independently manage a diverse, moderate-to-high exposure civil litigation caseload from initial assignment through final resolution. Partnering closely with claims professionals and insured clients, you will drive strategic legal defenses and deliver top-tier courtroom representation.

Whether you thrive in trial, excel at complex motion practice and depositions, or bring strong mediation expertise, this role offers direct autonomy, collaborative backing, and long-term career growth.

$125,000 - $155,000 annually, commensurate with experience.

Fully Remote, Hybrid, or In-Person work arrangements within Tennessee.

Premium medical, dental, and vision plans, plus a generous 401(k) match.

Ongoing specialized legal training, leadership opportunities, and a platform to mentor junior attorneys.

Manage complex civil litigation files from initial notice of loss through trial or settlement.

Formulate legal strategies, conduct targeted legal research, and establish strong affirmative defenses tailored to each claim.

Lead robust discovery, take and defend key depositions, and execute persuasive motion practice.

Represent insured clients at court hearings, pre-trial conferences, mediations, arbitrations, and bench/jury trials.

Partner regularly with claims adjusters and corporate stakeholders, conducting case evaluations and roundtable trial-prep sessions.

Mentor and guide less experienced staff and associate attorneys within the practice group.

Active license in good standing with the Tennessee State Bar (Admission to the Georgia Bar is a strong plus).

Background in civil litigation and insurance defense. Proven track record in trial court or extensive hands-on experience with high-level motion practice, depositions, and mediations.

Exceptional courtroom presence, negotiation tactics, and oral argument capabilities.

Ability to break down complex legal concepts into clear, actionable advice for claims adjusters and insured clients.

Proficiency with legal research platforms (Lexis/Westlaw), case management software, and holding a valid driver's license with an acceptable MVR.
