Job description

General Liability Associate | Manhattan, NY | Hybrid | $225K-$250K + $20K bonus

Seeking a mid-level General Liability Associate with 4-8 years of post-bar litigation experience and an active New York bar. This is not a clerkship or first-year seat.

Our client is an AV-rated national insurance defense firm known for high-rate institutional work. The general liability group handles serious premises, products, and high-exposure casualty matters for clients such as Disney, Chubb, and Encore - they avoid low-end slip-and-fall volume. Younger attorneys take on meaningful responsibility early, and most partners came up internally.

Why You Should Join:

• High-Exposure GL - Not Slip-and-Falls - Institutional premises, products, and casualty work at high billing rates
• Fortune 500 and Carrier Clients - Disney, Chubb, Encore, and other national names, not a local volume book
• Above-Industry Pay - Higher charge-out rates let the firm compensate better than nearly all shops in this space
• Career Acceleration - Early ownership of files and a path where 80% of partners started as first-years
• $225K-$250K Plus $20K Bonus - Strong Manhattan package for mid-level GL talent

Key Duties:

• Defend high-exposure general liability, premises, and products matters
• Manage litigation from investigation through depositions and dispositive motions
• Prepare for mediations, court appearances, and trial
• Work with carriers on strategy in serious casualty files
• Handle New York state and federal court defense work

Requirements:

• JD and active New York bar
• 4-8 years of post-bar general liability or insurance defense experience
• Current or recent title of Associate or equivalent - law clerks and summer associates will not be considered
• Experience with depositions and high-exposure files, not only small premises claims

No one fits every box perfectly - if you're a practicing General Liability Associate seeking high-caliber Manhattan work and $225K-$250K plus bonus, let's talk confidentially.
