Job Description

Senior Attorney – Insurance Defense

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

A well-established regional law firm is seeking a Senior Insurance Defense Attorney to join their Oklahoma City office. This is not a seat-filler role. It is an opportunity for a seasoned attorney to bring the kind of steady, experienced presence that shapes a practice — and the people in it — for years to come.

The Opportunity

We are not primarily looking for a manager — we are looking for an experienced insurance defense attorney whose professionalism, preparation, and work ethic naturally set the standard. We have two motivated, capable younger attorneys in our OKC office who are ready to grow. They need someone who has been there, and knows the game.

For the right attorney, there is a path to a managing role down the road. But first and foremost, we want someone who loves practicing law, is confident navigating complex litigation, and genuinely wants to try cases.

Practice Areas

This insurance defense attorney will work across a broad and sophisticated caseload, including:

  • Construction Law
  • Healthcare Liability
  • Oil & Gas
  • Product Liability
  • Trucking & Transportation
  • Catastrophic Injury
  • Construction Defects
  • Premises Liability
  • Insurance Coverage

What We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate is an attorney with 10 or more years of experience, with a significant portion spent at a defense firm handling complex matters. Trial experience is required. We want someone who understands the strategy, pacing, and realities of insurance defense litigation from the inside — not just in theory, but in practice.

Beyond the casework, we need someone who leads through preparation, professionalism, and work ethic. A team player who is not afraid of hard work, is willing to invest in the attorneys around them, and has aspirations to grow — whether that means trial leadership, a supervisory role, or helping to expand the practice.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience as a practicing attorney
  • Significant experience in insurance defense
  • Trial experience required
  • Background in complex litigation
  • Experience in a law firm setting
  • Licensed and in good standing in Oklahoma

Compensation & Culture

We offer a competitive six-figure salary commensurate with experience, full benefits, and a flexible schedule when life calls for it. Billing expectations are reasonable and realistic — this firm understands that attorneys have lives outside the office and respects family obligations. We also provide incentives for attorneys who exceed expectations, and most of our team takes advantage of that without any sacrifice to their work-life balance.

This is more than a position. It is an opportunity to invest in the next generation of attorneys, expand your leadership footprint, and continue building a respected practice within a genuinely collaborative environment.

How to Apply

If you are a seasoned insurance defense attorney ready to make a lasting impact, we would love to hear from you. Please send your resume to eric.vetter@gogpac.com. All inquiries are handled with complete confidentiality.
