About the role
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 work schedule. 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)
- Active Georgia Bar license (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
Compensation & Benefits
- 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.
