Job Description

Senior Insurance Defense Attorney – Dallas

The cases are complex. The support is real. And the next generation is watching.

Somewhere along the way, insurance defense work picked up a reputation for burning lawyers out, crushing caseloads, zero mentorship, and partners too busy to teach anyone anything. This firm decided to do it differently.

A growing multi-state defense litigation firm in Dallas is looking for a senior attorney to do more than carry a docket. They want a leader, the kind of attorney younger associates watch in a deposition and think, that's who I want to become. If you've built your career in insurance defense injury work and you're ready to shape the lawyers coming up behind you while still trying cases yourself, keep reading.

The work: Case management from start to finish, written discovery, taking and defending depositions, motion practice, mediation, and hearings. Our practice spans catastrophic injury, premises liability, trucking/transportation, construction defect and construction law, healthcare liability, product liability, oil and gas, and insurance coverage. Trial experience isn't required, but it's heavily preferred,  this firm wants people who want the courtroom.

Why this firm is different: Work-life balance isn't a recruiting buzzword here — it's how they keep good attorneys for the long haul:

  • 100% employer-paid healthcare for the employee, plus dental, vision, and disability coverage
  • 401(k) matched up to 4% and fully vested from day one (eligible after 1 year), plus pension options
  • 8 paid holidays
  • Employee Assistance Plan with free, 24/7 counseling and consulting to support emotional health and wellbeing
  • A genuine mentoring culture and real opportunities for growth

Qualifications: Juris Doctorate from an accredited law school and licensed to practice in Texas. Strong litigation background with insurance defense experience. Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes pride in attention to detail, and is comfortable working within the firm's longstanding standard operating procedures. Strong written and verbal communication, critical thinking, and substantive analytical skills are musts.
