Insurance Defense Attorney | Charlotte, NC (Hybrid) | $130,000 to $240,000 | Trucking, Premises, Construction Defect, Product and Professional Liability.
Every lawsuit you defend started as a coverage question.
At this firm, you see both.
I’m recruiting for a national insurance defense and coverage firm, hiring in its Charlotte office. Coverage and defense sit under one roof. You learn how a carrier weighs a claim before it ever lands on your desk as a lawsuit, and that makes you sharper at both.
Why I keep sending attorneys here
- People stay. The average attorney has been with the firm for over five years.
- I’ve placed several attorneys here across the Carolinas. They’re still there.
- It’s a national platform with real carrier relationships, and you work NC files from Charlotte.
The files coming in
- Trucking and transportation
- Premises liability
- Construction defect, plus disputes between owners, contractors, subs and architects
- Product liability
- Professional liability, including malpractice and E&O
- One strong defense background is enough. Nobody expects all five.
Associates
- No book needed. The carriers already send the work.
- Your own files, from first report to resolution or trial.
- Adjusters learn your name because you make the calls and write the reports.
- Around $130,000, with partners mentoring toward partnership
Partners
- Coverage and defense from one firm. That’s a strong offer to take to the carriers you already know.
- A real team around you. Associates and support staff carry the work that doesn’t need a partner, so your time goes on clients, strategy and trial.
- Associates to mentor. Everything you’ve learned about reading adjusters, prepping witnesses and knowing when a case should try gets passed on to attorneys who’ll put it to use.
- Up to $240,000
The practical bits
- Billable target of 1,850 to 1,900 hours, depending on level
- Depositions, mediations and court appearances
- In the Charlotte office three days a week. The other two are yours to plan around hearings, depositions and life.
You’ll bring
- North Carolina bar admission
- Associates: 2+ years of insurance defense experience
- Partners: an established insurance defense practice with carrier relationships
- Reports an adjuster can read in two minutes and act on
