What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Attorney position at Distinct | North America?
The best insurance defense jobs are a bit boring to explain. That's because nobody puts "sensible workload, proper mentoring and interesting cases" on a billboard. But that's exactly why people stay.
Some firms promise courtroom experience. Others promise work life balance. This one actually gives you both.
You'll get complex insurance coverage and bad faith litigation. You'll work with lawyers across the country, not just down the hall. You'll have genuine flexibility over where you work. And if you want to build your career rather than just bill hours, you'll find mentors who have actually done it themselves.
They're looking for an attorney with 3 to 6 years of insurance defense or insurance coverage litigation experience. Someone who enjoys getting stuck into coverage disputes, taking ownership of files, handling depositions, developing strategy and becoming the lawyer clients ask for by name.
This is a national platform with over 2,000 attorneys and offices across the US, but it doesn't feel like a legal factory. You get the backing, the resources and the calibre of work without disappearing into the crowd. The people who do well here are trusted early, given proper responsibility and encouraged to build something long term.
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.
