Oleven

Many insurance defense roles in Southern California are built around volume - high file counts, constant deadlines, and limited ownership over your cases. This opportunity is structured differently. Attorneys here manage their own cases with direct partner access and meaningful involvement in litigation strategy. The environment is designed for attorneys who want greater ownership, stronger client interaction, and the ability to play an active role in case progression from start to finish. Responsibilities Manage your own caseload with partner support Draft motions, pleadings, discovery, and other litigation-related documents Take and defend depositions Appear in court for hearings, case management conferences, and related proceedings Work directly with clients and insurance carriers Assist with trial preparation and attend trial Why attorneys make this move Greater ownership over cases and litigation strategy Direct access to partners and decision-makers Meaningful client interaction Collaborative team environment Hybrid flexibility and long-term growth opportunities Base salary: $135,000 - $250,000 + bonus Structured bonus opportunities and merit-based growth Medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) Hybrid schedule with flexibility Opportunity fit This opportunity tends to fit attorneys coming from high-volume defense environments who are looking for more ownership, better structure, and stronger involvement in their cases.
