Insurance Defense Attorney | Salt Lake City, UT

A well-established, boutique insurance defense firm in Salt Lake City is looking to add an Insurance Defense Attorney to their litigation team.

This is a firm that has built a reputation for high-quality work, strong client relationships, and a genuinely collegial culture - and right now, they have more work than their current team can handle. They're looking for someone who wants to step in, dig in, and grow with the firm.

• Boutique firm with 3 partners and 3 associates, located in a standalone office space just outside downtown Salt Lake City
• Primarily state court litigation, with some federal court matters
• Insurance defense caseload; medical malpractice experience is a plus but not required - the firm is happy to train motivated litigators on this niche
• Billable target: 1,850 hours
• Real, near‑term path to partnership
• Relaxed, adult‑oriented culture - team is in office 5x/week, but the firm trusts its attorneys to manage their workload, PTO, and appointments like professionals (no clock‑watching)
• Dog‑friendly office (yes, really)

• Litigation background with hands‑on deposition and courtroom experience
• Trial experience is a plus, not a requirement
• Ideally 3‑4 years of experience - ready to take on more responsibility and work with greater independence - but strong 1‑3 year candidates will also be considered
• Active Utah Bar license, or ability to obtain one
• A team player with a strong work ethic and a good attitude - this firm values collaboration and willingness to help colleagues as much as raw billable numbers

• After the 3rd/4th year, compensation shifts to a more performance‑based structure tied to billables, independent case management, and overall contribution
• Annual discretionary bonus
• Compensation was recently adjusted to stay competitive as larger firms expand into the Salt Lake City market

This firm moves fast - no layers of red tape or drawn‑out interview processes. Candidates typically meet with the team in a single, comprehensive interview, and feedback is provided quickly (within about a week of submission).

The annual salary for this position is between $150,000 – $185,000 annually. Factors which may affect pay within this range include geography/market, skills, education, experience, and other qualifications of the successful candidate.
