Company Description

At Kramer Rayson LLP, we take pride in cultivating a workplace culture built on collaboration, respect, and professional growth. Our commitment to creating a positive, supportive environment has earned us multiple consecutive titles as Knoxville's Top Workplace. This recognition reflects our dedication to fostering an atmosphere where every team member feels valued and empowered.

As an associate at Kramer Rayson, you’ll join a dynamic and welcoming team that values open communication, collaboration, and work–life balance. We are seeking an experienced litigation attorney with a minimum of three years of practice experience to join our defense litigation team.

This position offers an immediate opportunity to step into an established and active caseload, with a primary focus on insurance defense matters. You’ll work closely with an experienced partner while taking meaningful ownership of cases, including case strategy, discovery, depositions, motion practice, settlement negotiations, and client communication.

A significant part of this opportunity is direct exposure to established insurance carrier clients. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop those relationships and, with experience, become a primary point of contact for key clients. For an attorney ready to take the next step in their practice, this role provides both an existing pipeline of substantive work and the opportunity to build long-term client relationships.

At Kramer Rayson, collaboration is part of how we practice. You’ll work alongside experienced attorneys while having the independence to manage your matters and develop your own approach to client service. Our attorneys support one another, and we believe strong teams produce the strongest results.
