Job description

Litigation Attorney, General Liability Defense | Orlando, FL | $140,000 to $200,000 | General Liability Defense

Plenty of firms promise trial work. Fewer actually let their attorneys stand up in front of the jury. If you've spent the last few years preparing cases that someone else gets to try, this Orlando role is worth a conversation.

I'm Ryan Jaiswal at Distinct Recruitment, and I'm hiring an experienced general liability defense attorney for a very stable insurance defense firm in Orlando. It's a smaller team with proper support, a strong caseload and partners who are invested in developing trial lawyers.

The work

• A strong caseload of general liability defense files that you run from first report to resolution
• Depositions, dispositive motions and hearings handled by you
• Real trial exposure, with first chair work for attorneys ready to lead
• Direct relationships with adjusters and clients, with your evaluation driving the strategy

Mentoring, both ways

• Close work with experienced partners who share strategy, give honest feedback and back your judgment
• The chance to mentor associates on the team, if that's where you want to grow
• A smaller team, so your contribution is visible and recognized

Who I'd like to hear from

• 3+ years of litigation experience, ideally in insurance defense or general liability
• Senior attorneys and counsel level lawyers are very welcome. The salary range is wide so experience is paid properly

The practical side

• Orlando, in the office full time, working alongside the team
• Proper support staff, so your time goes on the legal work

Why it's worth a look

Stability matters more than most job ads admit. A firm with a steady book of work, a team that isn't stretched thin and partners who want you in the courtroom is the kind of place where a defense career actually moves forward.
