Attorney | Insurance Defense | 147430

Cedar Grove, NJ
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    Ready to take full control of your caseload and be recognized for your courtroom skills? One of the most respected litigation firms in the Northeast is seeking a sharp, trial-ready Insurance Defense Attorney who thrives on autonomy, strategy, and results.

     

    This is more than just a job. It’s your chance to join a high-powered legal team where your litigation instincts are trusted, your wins are celebrated, and your career has room to grow.

     

    Why This Role Stands Out

    You’ll inherit a full docket of active New York insurance defense matters and have the freedom to run your files from start to finish. The firm’s culture values independence and efficiency, but backs you with the resources, mentorship, and reputation of a top-ranked practice.

    You’ll work alongside former state leaders, award-winning litigators, and rising legal talent committed to high-level advocacy and client service. The firm’s reputation for trial excellence opens doors, and so will this position.

     

    What You’ll Do

    • Manage 50+ insurance defense matters from inception to resolution
    • Handle court appearances, depositions, discovery, and client strategy
    • Prepare cases for trial with a team that knows how to win
    • Build strong relationships with clients who value sharp legal insight
    • Thrive in a supportive, professional environment with true work-life balance

     

    Ideal Candidate Profile

    • Admitted to the New York Bar (NJ admission a plus or willingness to obtain)
    • Experienced in insurance defense litigation, preferably with courtroom or trial experience
    • Organized, independent, and driven to exceed expectations
    • Eager to be part of a firm that rewards talent, not tenure

     

    What’s in It for You

    • Base salary between $120,000 and $150,000
    • Monthly bonus: $50 for every hour billed over 180
    • Year-end discretionary bonus
    • 170 monthly / 2,040 annual billable hour expectation
    • 80% of medical premiums are covered
    • 18 days PTO, 8 paid holidays
    • 401(k), LTD, life insurance, parental leave
    • In-office with flexibility for ad hoc remote work

     

    Join a Firm That Invests in Litigators

    Named among the Best Law Firms® and recognized by Chambers USA, this firm is deeply committed to trial training, DEI initiatives, and community service. If you’re ready to level up your litigation career in a high-caliber environment without sacrificing flexibility or support, this is your moment.
