What are the responsibilities and job description for the Litigation Associate position at Distinct | North America?
Litigation Associate (Insurance Defense)
Miami, Florida
$115,000 to $145,000
Miami’s busy.
Every firm says it. Most of them mean it.
But there’s a difference between busy… and messy.
You’ve probably worked in at least one.
The places where everything lands at once, nobody really knows who’s handling what, and you’re chasing updates just to keep things moving.
And then the places where it’s still full on… but it actually feels under control.
This is more the second.
You’ll still have a proper caseload. Depositions, hearings, motions, dealing with clients and adjusters directly. Nothing watered down.
But you won’t be left guessing. Work gets spread properly. People communicate. And you’re not sat there at 6:30pm wondering what’s about to drop into your inbox.
That shouldn’t stand out. But it does.
One of the associates said the biggest change for them was just knowing where they stood on their cases.
No surprises. No last minute chaos.
Simple. But it changes the job.
What you’ll be doing (roughly)
- Running your own caseload
- Depositions, mediations, hearings
- Drafting motions and handling discovery
- Speaking directly with clients and adjusters
- Being involved in case strategy, not just execution
What they’re looking for
- 3 to 5 years in insurance defense
- Florida Bar
- Someone who’s comfortable with responsibility but doesn’t want to do everything alone
