Insurance Defense Attorney (Partner or Associate)
(Hybrid Role (Remote for Highly Experienced Candidates)

Salary of $125K - $250K based on experience level

We are a unique, well-run, well respected insurance defense firm seeking top talent to join our amazing team.

We are a mid-sized firm with 35 attorneys. We offer a "non-corporate" environment where people genuinely like working together, and there is a warmth and authenticity about our culture.

What we offer our attorneys is "flexibility", flexibility in their hybrid work schedules, flexibility in their vacation schedules, flexibility in choosing their practice area. We are not so structured that we can't create roles for our attorneys, based on their interests.

Our Partners have a keen interest in mentoring and developing future Partners, as that is the future of our firm.

We have long-term dedicated leaders who truly care about the careers of our attorneys. We have the latest technology, and use it to the fullest to make our attorney's lives easier.

We cover a wide range of general and professional liability cases and because of this, our attorney's have variety in their work and cases.

We understand the unique dynamics of insurance defense work. The matters are complex, the clients are sophisticated, and the standards are high. We also recognize the industry’s realities—rigorous billing oversight and fee structures that may not always capture the full scope of the work involved.

Rather than seeing these as obstacles, we view them as opportunities to differentiate ourselves. We've built a firm that responds to these demands with innovation, technology, and integrity—while fostering a supportive environment that empowers our attorneys to grow, excel, and deliver outstanding results.

Our Associate Advisory Board

Our Associate Advisory Board — composed of non-partner attorneys — works closely with the Management Committee to shape firm policy, practice operations, and strategic initiatives. This structure gives rising attorneys both a voice and a seat at the table, while developing real-world leadership skills essential to future partnership and equity roles.

The Work You’ll Do

We handle a wide range of general and professional liability matters, from routine motor vehicle accidents to the most complex, high-profile, and catastrophic losses our clients face.
