Litigation Associate

General Liability Defense Associate | Richmond, VA | $125,000 to $195,000 | Hybrid

When did you last get a file and think "I want this one in front of a jury"?

If it's been a while, keep reading.

I'm hiring for a respected defense firm in Richmond that's growing its general liability team. They want someone with two years or more behind them. Could be two. Could be eight. They're open on level, so the salary range is wide on purpose. Where you land depends on what you bring.

Why people stay

• Partners who've done this for decades and still pick up the phone when you're stuck
• Hybrid is how the office runs. You don't have to earn it
• A team that gets on. It sounds minor until you're having a rough deposition day
• An open conversation about partnership. What it takes, how long, and who decides
• Real courtroom time. Depositions, motions and hearings from early on

The work

• GL files you run yourself, from first report to verdict or resolution
• Premises, auto, product and bodily injury claims in Virginia state and federal courts
• Direct contact with carriers and insureds. You're not just working a stack someone handed you

You

• Admitted to the Virginia State Bar and in good standing
• Two years or more in civil litigation, ideally insurance or GL defense
• Happy owning a file

Richmond is a good city to be a litigator in. The Fourth Circuit sits here. The Eastern District keeps everyone on their toes. This firm is right in the middle of it.
