Gregory Helfrich & Associates, insurance staff counsel for State Farm Insurance Companies, is seeking an Attorney to join the Summit, New Jersey Claim Litigation office. While every day can provide different experiences and opportunities, the role involves case ownership, participating in litigation events, and meeting with clients. 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. State Farm creates an environment inclusive of career development opportunities.
The position is classified as a hybrid role, meaning that the work arrangement calls for hours in the office and virtually. We anticipate the selected candidate will work in the Summit Claim Litigation office two days per month for meetings or other activities. Work arrangements, including the number of days in the office, could change over time based on business needs.
