Job description

General Liability Associate | Manhattan, NY | Hybrid | $230K

Seeking a mid-level General Liability Associate with 2–8 years of post-bar experience and an active New York bar. This is not a clerkship or first-year seat.

Our client is a national insurance-defense firm with a Manhattan office that handles New York general liability and premises work. The firm tries cases. Teams are built so associates can grow a practice, not just feed a partner’s book. The culture is unusually calm for a New York defense shop - no yellers, real mentoring, and a hybrid schedule.

Why You Should Join:

• $230K Manhattan General Liability – City-level pay without the hours-and-screaming package that usually comes with it
• New York Courts, National Backup – A multi-office defense platform behind Manhattan files, so complex cases are not staffed by two people and a contractor
• Trial Is Not Optional Window Dressing – The firm actually tries cases; associates get into depositions, hearings, and trial prep instead of five years of discovery-only work
• A New York Office That Does Not Yell – Collegial, low-ego culture. Rare in this market and one of the reasons laterals stay
• Room to Build, Not Just Bill – Mentoring and succession planning for people who want to run files and, later, a team

Key Duties:

• Defend general liability and premises matters in New York state and federal court
• Manage discovery, depositions, and motion practice
• Prepare for mediations, hearings, and trial
• Advise carriers on exposure and strategy
• Take ownership of files through resolution

Requirements:

• JD and active New York bar
• 2–8 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
• Deposition and motion-practice experience

No one fits every box perfectly — if you’re a practicing General Liability Associate seeking $230K in Manhattan, let’s talk confidentially.
