About the Role

Holly D. Shull & Associates, insurance staff counsel for State Farm Insurance Companies, is seeking an Attorney to join the San Antonio, TX 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.

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. We need self-starters who are agile, creative, collaborative, strategic, passionate, and communicative. The position is classified as a hybrid role, meaning that the work arrangement calls for hours in the office and virtually. Everyone in a hybrid role is required to spend time in the office at our location: 601 Northwest Loop 410 Suite 250, San Antonio, TX 78216. Work arrangements could change over time based on business needs.
