Entering my 2nd year as a medical malpractice (insurance) defense litigator. My billables are 2200 per year, even during WFH and COVID while the courts are moving very slowly. Any advice as to what I should look into for an exit? I can’t hit those billables while maintaining my sanity.

Insurance defense is a common practice area with high billables. That’s typical. I’m not sure I understand your Question about what to look for in an exit....

Thank you, Recruiter 1! Just messaged you.

I'm doing the same thing rn. I used to do construction and business litigation, plaintiff's side, and I liked that better. Still scratch the complex litigation itch but it wasn't so many hours. If you like civil litigation but just find med mal defense is too much, you may like something like that. Neither has really been "it" for me though so I'm still looking at something else.
