Job description

Senior Litigation Attorney | Virginia Beach, VA (Hybrid) | $150,000 to $200,000 | Civil Litigation Defense

Picture the attorney this job is for.

Ten years or more in defense work. Virginia barred, maybe with another bar or two picked up along the way. Knows the adjusters by first name. Has tried enough cases to spot the ones that shouldn't settle. Wants to build a practice with a national firm behind them.

I'm recruiting for a civil litigation defense firm with multiple offices statewide plus DC, and a Virginia Beach practice that's growing. Their clients range from Fortune 100 companies to individuals and small business owners.

The numbers

• $150,000 to $200,000. Two levels here: a strong senior litigator toward the lower end, someone with a deeper trial record or multiple bar admissions toward the top.
• Hybrid, with flexible schedules.
• 401(k) profit sharing, medical, dental and vision, life and AD&D, short and long term disability, FSAs and holiday pay.

The work

• General liability, personal injury, product liability and professional liability.
• Files you run yourself, from suit to settlement or trial.

The must haves

• A JD and an active Virginia bar license.
• 10 or more years of civil litigation defense.
• Other bars are welcome but not required. One is fine.
