   We&rsquo;re looking for a Civil Attorney to join a growing insurance defense team! Trucking Experience a Plus!
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  If you&rsquo;re someone who likes rolling up your sleeves, taking charge of your own cases, and working with a solid team of down-to-earth people, this might be your spot. We move fast, work hard, and have each other&rsquo;s backs.
 </p>
 <p>
  Ideally, you&rsquo;ve got around 5+ years of experience under your belt&mdash;but honestly, if you&rsquo;re newer or more seasoned and think you&rsquo;d be a good fit, we want to hear from you.
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   What we&rsquo;re looking for:
  </strong>
 </p>
 <ul>
  <li>
   You&rsquo;ve handled your own files from start to finish before.
  </li>
  <li>
   You&rsquo;re independent and can juggle a full caseload without needing someone to hold your hand.
  </li>
  <li>
   You&rsquo;ve done case evaluations and depositions.
  </li>
  <li>
   You like building real relationships with clients (not just sending emails into the void).
  </li>
  <li>
   You&rsquo;re a strong communicator&mdash;both in writing and out loud.
  </li>
  <li>
   You&rsquo;re organized enough to track and report your time accurately.
  </li>
  <li>
   Got your own book of business? Even better!
  </li>
 </ul>
 <p>
  This position is based in
  <strong>
   Chicago
  </strong>
  , and we offer a
  <strong>
   hybrid work setup
  </strong>
  after some in-person training.
 </p>
 <p>
  We&rsquo;re a mid-sized firm that still manages to keep that friendly, small-firm vibe. You&rsquo;ll get flexibility, plenty of support, and a bunch of great benefits&mdash;like health, dental, vision, and even pet insurance. We also offer a 401k match, paid holidays, parental leave, disability coverage, a wellness program, and more.
 </p>
 <p>
  If this sounds like your kind of place, we&rsquo;d love to talk.
