Are there many legitimate ethical hurdles when switching from insurance defense to plaintiff’s work? I’ve always seen myself as a plaintiff’s lawyer, but ultimately took an ID job out of law school (better salary, no real opportunities at plaintiffs firms that I liked). I like what I do—so far—but I’m constantly thinking about whether the grass is greener.

You can’t work on cases you worked on at the defense firm. Other then that you are fine. Many plaintiffs lawyers did insurance defense early on.

My bosses were both ID in the beginning before starting Plaintiff's work. It made them both great litigators. You can represent cases against former clients if they are insurance companies and you never represented them against YOUR client. Like, If you represnted State Farm against claims brought by Ms. Anderson, you couldn't just switch and represent Ms. Anderson. You could, however, represent Mr. Moore for claims he wishes to bring against State Farm because you have never been a part of State Farm's legal team against Mr. Moore.

In an auto accident trial, can you inform the jury in any way that the at-fault driver had insurance?
