Attorney

Insurance Defense Attorney | Raleigh, NC (Hybrid) | $130,000 to $240,000 | Trucking, Premises, Construction Defect, Product, Professional Liability and Premises Liability.

Every lawsuit you defend started as a coverage question.

At this firm, you see both.

I’m recruiting for a national insurance defense and coverage firm, hiring in its Raleigh office. Coverage and defense sit under one roof. You learn how a carrier weighs a claim before it ever lands on your desk as a lawsuit, and that makes you sharper at both.

Why I keep sending attorneys here

• People stay. The average attorney has been with the firm for over five years.
• I’ve placed several attorneys here across the Carolinas. They’re still there.
• It’s a national platform with real carrier relationships, and you work NC files from Raleigh.

The files coming in

• Trucking and transportation
• Premises liability
• Construction defect, plus disputes between owners, contractors, subs and architects
• Product liability
• Professional liability, including malpractice and E&O
• One strong defense background is enough. Nobody expects all five.

Associates

• No book needed. The carriers already send the work.
• Your own files, from first report to resolution or trial.
• Adjusters learn your name because you make the calls and write the reports.
• Around $130,000, with partners mentoring toward partnership

Partners

• Coverage and defense from one firm. That’s a strong offer to take to the carriers you already know.
• A real team around you. Associates and support staff carry the work that doesn’t need a partner, so your time goes on clients, strategy and trial.
• Associates to mentor. Everything you’ve learned about reading adjusters, prepping witnesses and knowing when a case should try gets passed on to attorneys who’ll put it to use.
• Up to $240,000

The practical bits

• Billable target of 1,850 to 1,900 hours, depending on level
• Depositions, mediations and court appearances
• In the Raleigh office three days a week. The other two are yours to plan around hearings, depositions and life.

You’ll bring

• North Carolina bar admission
• Associates: 2+ years of insurance defense experience
• Partners: an established insurance defense practice with carrier relationships
• Reports an adjuster can read in two minutes and act on
