Insurance Defense Associate | Fully Remote, San Diego | $130,000 to $170,000
Plaintiff firms keep a rough list of which defense outfits actually turn up to trial, and they price their cases off it.
This one's a national defense firm that tries cases. You'd be in San Diego with the rest of a national practice behind you, working from home, and enough of the files go the distance that you'll come out of it with a trial record. If you've spent three years being told you'll get in front of a jury eventually, this is a firm where that happens.
It pays $130,000 to $170,000 and where you land in the band depends on the files you've run. Further down the line there's room to move into general liability, product liability or toxic tort, with colleagues across the country who've already had your problem.
The job:
Your own insurance defense files, in San Diego courts and further afield
Depositions
Law and motion, and a fair share of the trial work
Reporting straight to carriers, and picking up the commercial side along the way
Working with partners who'll put you on your feet
You'll need:
Two years plus of civil or insurance defense litigation, and the California Bar
A want to try cases, which sounds obvious and turns out not to be
Next Steps:
You don’t need a resume ready, because most of the people I speak to aren’t looking. They just want to know what the firm down the road is paying.
