About the job Senior Counsel - Insurance Defense

Senior Insurance Defense Attorney – High Compensation + Bonus + Work-Life Balance

Location: Georgia (Nearly 100% Remote Work Schedule)
Job Type: Full-Time

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Looking for a role where you can focus on high-impact legal work without unnecessary bureaucracy?

Our client, a well-established and growing civil litigation firm, is seeking a Senior Insurance Defense Attorney to handle time-sensitive conditional demands and complex insurance matters. This is a great opportunity for an experienced attorney who thrives in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment and wants a supportive team + flexible, nearly 100% remote workschedule. Generally, the only onsite work requirements will be occasional onsite team meetings.

What You'll Do

• Handle and respond to time-limited conditional demands with precision and urgency
• Draft and review:
  • pleadings
  • motions
  • briefs
  • affidavits
  • settlement agreements
  • legal correspondence
• Conduct legal research and develop strategic responses to complex insurance matters
• Advise clients (primarily insurance carriers) on risk, exposure, and resolution strategies
• Negotiate settlements and support favorable outcomes for clients
• Collaborate with attorneys, paralegals, and support staff to meet deadlines
• Clearly explain legal strategies to non-legal clients
• Maintain well-organized and up-to-date case files

What We're Looking For

• 5–7+ years of insurance defense experience (required)
• Experience handling time-sensitive demand responses strongly preferred
• Strong legal writing, research, and analytical skills
• Ability to manage a high-volume caseload and meet deadlines consistently
• Excellent communication and client-facing skills
• Self-motivated with strong attention to detail
• Competitive base salary + performance-based bonus
• Nearly 100% remote work schedule
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Firm-paid life insurance
• Long-term disability coverage
• 401(k) with profit sharing
• Generous PTO and paid holidays
• Additional voluntary benefits

Ideal Candidate

You're a confident, detail-oriented insurance defense attorney who can independently manage deadlines, communicate effectively with clients, and deliver high-quality legal work under pressure. Experience with conditional demands will set you apart.
