Insurance Defence Associate | Fully Remote, California | $175,000 to $240,000
The work turned up before the people did, so the files are already sitting there and your first six months wouldn't go on waiting for something decent to land. It's $175,000 to $240,000, fully remote anywhere in California.
If you've been doing defence at a smaller shop and watching the bigger matters go to firms with more behind them, this puts a national platform under you for the day a file turns nasty.
The group handles coverage as well as defence, so you'd see both ends of the same file. First party work sits in the same team, and the coverage questions land on your desk as the case moves rather than going off somewhere else in the building.
What you'd be doing:
Defending insured claims in California state and federal court
Written discovery, motions and depositions
Keeping carriers and their insureds updated as the file moves
Coverage questions as they come up
What you'd need:
Civil defence litigation experience in California, and you're happy running your own files
Admission to the California Bar
Next Steps:
Worst case, you spend 15 minutes on the phone with a recruiter and find out your current job is better than you thought it was.
