Civil Litigation Defense Attorney; Hybrid

Position: Civil Litigation Defense Attorney (Hybrid)
Job Description

Our client is looking for a Civil Litigation Defense Attorney open to relocating to the Jersey Shore.

This is a unique opportunity for attorneys who want to maintain a strong litigation practice while transitioning to a coastal lifestyle with better work-life balance.

About the Role

This position offers a diverse litigation caseload across multiple practice areas, allowing attorneys to develop well-rounded experience without being limited to a single niche.

You'll work directly with highly experienced leadership, gaining hands-on mentorship and real courtroom exposure.

Practice Area(s)

• Insurance bad faith
• General liability
• Products liability
• Insurance coverage
• Commercial and civil litigation

Responsibilities

• Manage litigation matters from inception through resolution
• Draft pleadings, motions, and discovery
• Take and defend depositions
• Participate in mediations, hearings, and trial preparation
• Collaborate directly with partners on case strategy
• Maintain strong communication with clients and carriers

Qualifications

• 2+ years of civil litigation experience
• Insurance defense or plaintiff-side experience welcomed
• Strong writing and analytical skills
• Ability to manage multiple cases independently
• Currently Licensed in New Jersey or in process

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• No billable hour requirement
• Direct mentorship from a top-tier trial attorney
• Hybrid flexibility after onboarding
• Strong, collaborative culture with excellent retention
• Proven placement success (attorneys and staff already placed and thriving)
• Opportunity to live and work near the Jersey Shore
