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
