Civil Litigation Defense Attorney

Job Description

Our client firm is seeking a Civil Litigation Defense Attorney to join its growing practice. This opportunity is ideal for an attorney looking to develop strong litigation skills while working in a collaborative environment with meaningful mentorship and long-term growth potential.

Position:
Civil Litigation Defense Attorney (2+ Years)

About the Role

This position offers exposure to a diverse defense-side caseload, allowing attorneys to gain experience across multiple areas of litigation without being limited to a single niche. The firm handles matters involving insurance defense, coverage disputes, and complex liability cases, providing associates with broad courtroom and litigation experience.

Attorneys work closely with experienced leadership, providing hands-on mentorship and direct case involvement.

Practice Areas

• Insurance bad faith litigation
• General liability defense
• Products liability
• Insurance coverage disputes
• Related civil litigation matters

Responsibilities

• Handle litigation matters from inception through resolution
• Draft pleadings, motions, and discovery
• Conduct depositions and participate in hearings and mediations
• Assist with case strategy and trial preparation
• Communicate directly with clients, carriers, and opposing counsel
• Collaborate with partners on complex litigation matters

Qualifications

• 2+ years of civil litigation experience
• Insurance defense experience preferred
• Strong writing, research, and analytical skills
• Ability to manage multiple matters and deadlines effectively
• Licensed in the state and in good standing

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Mentorship from well respected trial attorneys
• Hybrid schedule available after onboarding
• Collaborative, supportive culture with strong retention and positive feedback from placed candidates
• Opportunity to develop broad litigation experience without being pigeonholed
