Civil Litigation Defense Attorney – Fully Remote (Michigan No‑Fault / Insurance Defense)
I am partnering with a well-regarded civil litigation firm that is seeking a Civil Litigation Defense Attorney for a fully remote position. This is an excellent opportunity for a defense-side litigator who wants meaningful file ownership, sophisticated work, and true flexibility while remaining anchored to a reputable, trial-tested team. The firm is looking for an attorney with experience in civil litigation defense, with a strong preference for backgrounds in commercial/trucking and transportation matters, insurance defense (including first- and third-party no‑fault/PIP), subrogation, general negligence, and/or personal injury defense.
Solid civil litigation defense experience in one or more of the following:
Commercial/trucking and transportation matters (auto, motor carrier, and related no‑fault issues)
Insurance defense, including first‑party PIP / Michigan no‑fault and third‑party auto liability
Subrogation and recovery actions arising out of auto/no‑fault and other covered losses
General negligence and personal injury defense (auto, premises, and related tort matters)
Experience managing files from initial pleadings through discovery, motion practice, and resolution (trial experience is a plus but not required)
Strong written advocacy skills (motions, briefs, discovery responses) and confident oral communication for hearings and depositions
Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment while remaining responsive to clients, colleagues, and deadlines
Licensed in Michigan (MI) and in good standing
Fully remote role with flexibility and autonomy over your day-to-day schedule
Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
Opportunity to handle substantive defense work with real responsibility and direct client/carrier contact
Support from an experienced litigation team and resources that allow you to focus on high-value legal work rather than administrative tasks
A long-term platform with a firm that values professionalism, collaboration, and work-life balance
