Associate Attorney

Distinct | North America
Irvine, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 8/1/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 8/30/2026

Interesting litigation and a sensible life outside it shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.


Here you’ll get genuinely interesting insurance coverage and bad faith litigation, proper responsibility for your files and the chance to handle depositions, shape strategy and become someone clients actually ask for.


You also get flexibility over where you work, sensible expectations and experienced lawyers who are interested in helping you get better, rather than simply helping you bill more.


They’re looking for an attorney with 3 to 6 years of insurance defense or insurance coverage litigation experience.


It’s a national platform with over 2,000 attorneys, so the work, resources and opportunities are there. But you’re not joining to become attorney number 1,847. Good lawyers are trusted early, given room to develop and encouraged to build a career that lasts.


If you like insurance litigation but suspect there might be a better place to do it, this is probably worth a conversation.


Here’s the bit worth remembering: you don’t need to be actively looking to have a conversation.


Maybe there’s something better out there for you. Maybe there isn’t. Worst case, we have a confidential chat and you decide staying put is the right move. That’s a perfectly good outcome too.


If you’d rather talk than apply, call me on 646 540 9647. I know court appearances, depositions and the small matter of actually billing your hours don’t always leave much room in your day.


So I’m around early mornings (from 6am PST time) and at weekends too.


And if speaking to a recruiter isn’t normally high on your list of enjoyable activities, I understand. There are over 100 recommendations on my LinkedIn profile if you want to vet me first. I’m Arran Jaiswal At Distinct North America.
