Civil Litigation Defense Attorney (Hybrid)

gpac
Trenton, NJ Full Time
POSTED ON 3/25/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/25/2026
Our client is looking for a Civil Litigation Defense Attorney open to relocating to the Jersey Shore.

This is a unique opportunity for attorneys currently in North or Central New Jersey 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
  • Licensed in New Jersey

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
