Job Description

Insurance Defense Attorney | Millburn, NJ (Hybrid) – $180K

\n

\n

Location/Schedule: Millburn, NJ (Hybrid)

\n

Base Salary: $180K

\n

Practice: New Jersey insurance defense — general liability, auto, and casualty files that are tried, not just settled. PIP and no-fault work sits in the same office if you want it.

\n

Our client has defended insurers in New Jersey since 1925. It is a trial firm. A member of the firm is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney. There is no billable-hour requirement. Production is measured on receivables and collections, which is why associates here actually get into court.

\n

\n

Why You Should Join:

\n

\n
• Defense Trial Work You Will Not Find at Most New Jersey Shops – A 100-year trial firm. Courtroom time is the job, not a reward after year eight.
\n
• No Billable-Hour Requirement – The firm tracks receivables and collections. Your time goes to the file, not to padding a timesheet.
\n
• Certified Civil Trial Attorney in the Office – Front-row access to a New Jersey Supreme Court–certified trial lawyer, not a partner who last tried a case a decade ago.
\n
• A Century of Carrier Work – Insurer defense in New Jersey since 1925. The docket is already there.
\n
• $180K in Millburn – Suburban New Jersey pay for someone who wants to try cases, not commute to Newark for volume files.
\n
