I’m considering leaving my firm and becoming an adjuster. It’s essentially in house work, PTO, benefits, no billable hours. I know of a couple companies that hire attorneys to adjust claims and I’m sure there are more. Has anyone made this transition or know of someone who has and can comment on how it went? Very early stages of considering this so all comments/thoughts/opinions are welcome.

Why not just look for an in-house litigation attorney position? I say this as having thought about the same thing and as much as I’ve come to loathe litigation, I would hate the pay cut even more.

Adding here re the WLB aspect - when I went in house I gained nearly 7 weeks of time off per year that I can actually use because I don’t have a billable hour requirement (we don’t even track hours), so there’s definitely carriers out there that it would make more sense to remain counsel with.

I just did and I work with nothing but former partners. Best decision I made!

One of the companies I’m looking at hires a lot of attorneys so I’m thinking the environment and colleagues would be great. Thanks for sharing your experience.

It was actually a slight pay raise for me, way more benefits, PTO, and less hours when you actually break down billables

This is exactly what I’m thinking. Better benefits. PTO - can you imagine?! Haha

The boredom is one aspect that I am concerned about. That and telling outside counsel what to do knowing I could do a better job myself. But I think I could get over it? 🤔

It really depends on what you’re making. I did it under different circumstances, but if the pay cut doesn’t bother you the WLB is substantially better.
