Senior General Liability Defense Attorney - Multiple Openings

Southern California - Remote

About the Role

A well-established national defense firm is actively hiring general liability and bodily injury defense attorneys across Southern California, with multiple current openings. The firm handles a broad mix of GL, auto, premises, and bodily injury defense matters for regional and national insurance carriers, offering attorneys real caseload responsibility, full remote flexibility, and a manageable 1,850 billable hour target.

What Makes This Role Different

  • Fully remote, based anywhere in Southern California
  • 1,850 billable hour target, well below industry standard
  • Competitive compensation with a bonus structure that rewards output
  • National platform with room to grow beyond a single office or practice group

What You Will Do

  • Manage a variety of general liability and bodily injury defense matters from early case strategy through resolution
  • Take and defend depositions of parties, witnesses, and expert witnesses
  • Draft and argue motions including summary judgment and discovery motions
  • Participate in mediations, hearings, and trial preparation
  • Work directly with clients and adjusters to evaluate exposure and develop case strategy

Who You Are

  • 5-10+ years of litigation experience in general liability, bodily injury, or related insurance defense
  • Active California Bar license in good standing
  • Comfortable managing your own caseload independently, fully remote
  • Strong legal writer with practical, business-minded judgment
  • Looking to build a long-term practice, not just manage a docket

Additional Opportunities Available

This is one of several openings we are currently working across Southern California at multiple experience levels. If this specific role is not the right fit, another opportunity may be
