Any solos focus only on insurance defense? How did you compete with bigger firms who specialize in ID? What are you rates? How busy are you?

Funny, I had the same question yesterday on this board. I think smaller firms/solos do insurance defense, but I’m not sure how common that is or how they get the business.

Good friend of mine does work for one of the major auto insurance carriers. He was a solo for years, but just recently hired a junior associate to help with his workload. He made good friends with the supervising adjusters before going out on his own and he is well known in the legal community (outside a big city). Very personable and likable.

I should add that his rate is $175 an hour, and he also has some “flat fee” stuff as well, depending on when a case is referred to him by the carrier (aka how far along in litigation they are). He has a ton of work from the carrier and before the junior associate came along he had very little overhead. He does very well for himself. Also handles anything else he wants that comes along such as speeding tickets, some criminal, etc.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
