Recognized nationally for its commitment to diversity and an inclusive atmosphere, WSHB provides attorneys a flexible work from home policy and the opportunity to collaborate with lead attorneys across offices as well as across a variety of practice areas. Excellent research and writing skills are a must. Experience in insurance defense litigation and general familiarity with carrier billing and reporting guidelines is preferred.
