Job Description

About this role

An established Pennsylvania/New Jersey defense firm is adding an insurance defense attorney to its North Jersey practice.

  • Handle pleadings, discovery, motion practice, depositions, arbitrations and trial preparation
  • Communicate directly with carriers, adjusters and insureds

What we are looking for

  • New Jersey bar admission (active); Pennsylvania bar a plus
  • 5–10 years of insurance defense experience
  • New Jersey automobile litigation experience
  • Ability to independently manage a litigation caseload

Compensation: $135,000–$165,000, depending on experience.

Based in the Jersey City office, with a flexible in-office schedule.
