About this opportunity
General Liability Associate | Basking Ridge, NJ | Remote | $190K
Seeking a mid-level General Liability Associate with 2–9 years of post-bar experience and an active New Jersey bar. This is not a clerkship or first-year seat.
Our client is a national insurance-defense firm with a New Jersey hub in Basking Ridge. The docket is New Jersey general liability and premises work, staffed locally and backed by a multi-state platform. The office is known as low-pressure and well mentored. Trial is part of the practice, not a brochure line.
Why You Should Join:
- $190K for New Jersey General Liability – Strong suburban-NJ pay without a Newark or Manhattan five-day mandate
- A Real New Jersey Hub, Not a Letterhead Office – Files are staffed in Basking Ridge; you are not a satellite feeding another city’s partners
- Trial Work in New Jersey Courts – Hearings, depositions, and trial prep are expected of mid-levels, not locked to two senior partners
- Mentors Instead of Volume Pressure – Collegial office, no yellers, people who will actually review your brief
- National Backup When a File Explodes – Multi-office defense platform behind local NJ cases, so you are not understaffed the week a case gets serious
Key Duties:
- Defend general liability and premises matters in New Jersey state and federal court
- Manage discovery, depositions, and motion practice
- Handle hearings, mediations, and trial prep
- Advise carriers on exposure and strategy
- Take ownership of New Jersey files through resolution
Requirements:
- JD and active New Jersey bar
- 2–9 years of post-bar general liability or insurance defense experience
- Current or recent title of Associate or equivalent — law clerks and summer associates will not be considered
- Deposition and court-appearance experience
No one fits every box perfectly - if you’re a practicing General Liability Associate seeking $190K in Basking Ridge, let’s talk confidentially.
