The selected candidate will handle a high-volume caseload of PIP matters in both the arbitration (AAA) and litigation formats. While every day can provide different experiences and opportunities, State Farm attorneys maintain their own caseload from inception to conclusion. The role involves court appearances through all phases of discovery through trial, arbitration hearings, and extensive motion practice. We encourage a collaborative environment where our attorneys can assist each other and have access to support staff while maintaining ownership of their files. As a result of not being billed by the hour, our attorneys have the opportunity to strategize on trial and case development as it passes through litigation. The position is classified as a hybrid role, meaning that the work arrangement calls for hours in the office and virtually. Work arrangements could change over time based on business needs. Based in Jericho, NY, this position will require travel and appearances on Long Island and in the 5 boroughs of Metro New York.
