The Las Vegas, NV office of Lewis Brisbois, a full-service AmLaw 100 firm, is actively seeking an associate attorney and partner to join its Insurance Bad Faith Practice.
 
The ideal candidate will have at least one (1) plus years of experience in Insurance Bad Faith litigation. This area of law enables practitioners at LBBS to develop their civil litigation skills while representing sophisticated and well-established national insurance companies. LBBS bad faith insurance defense attorneys rely upon their skills in contract interpretation, statutory interpretation, and analysis of a pre-litigation record in matters involving contract law, tort law, and even statute-based law. When communicating with a client, such attorneys rely on a clear writing voice, but especially so when litigating a client’s cases. Thus, new practitioners joining this practice group will be most successful if they can bring some experience with civil litigation, including: drafting answers, propounding and responding to discovery, motion practice, and deposing witnesses. Strong research and writing skills are required. Admission to the Nevada Bar is required.
 
Our practice group values curiosity, hard work, thoughtful analysis, and (perhaps most importantly), superb interpersonal skills. For an attorney with a few years of civil litigation experience who would like to explore a field of law where torts, contracts, and statutes intertwine daily, LBBS’ insurance bad faith practice group can provide such an attorney an excellent opportunity for professional development and we invite you to apply.
 
We offer competitive compensation and in addition, Lewis Brisbois offers a range of benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and 401k with employer match.
