Job description

Insurance Coverage Associate | Manhattan, NY | Hybrid | $235K | Bonus from 1,850 hours

Seeking a mid-level Insurance Coverage Associate with 3–7 years of post-bar coverage experience and an active New York bar. This is not a clerkship or first-year seat.

Our client is a 100-year cornerstone of the New York insurance bar. Every equity partner started as a summer associate or intern. The Head of Litigation is recognized among the Top 250 attorneys in the U.S. Coverage work sits at the center of the practice. Bonus starts at 1,850 hours and reaches $30K at 2,200. The firm runs weekly, quarterly, and yearly events - bowling, sporting events, the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge — to keep people here.

Why You Should Join:

• 100-Year New York Insurance Institution – A cornerstone of the NY insurance-law community, not a new coverage shop
• Every Equity Partner Started as a Summer or Intern – One of the clearest internal progression stories in this market
• Head of Litigation in the U.S. Top 250 – National reputation at the top of the group you would work in
• Bonus Starts at 1,850 Hours, $30K at 2,200 – Real upside on a staggered bonus, not a single cliff
• A Firm That Actually Invests in Retention – Weekly, quarterly, and yearly events built to keep attorneys, not churn them
• $235K Base in Manhattan Coverage

Key Duties:

• Analyze policies and draft coverage opinions and reservation-of-rights letters
• Handle declaratory judgment actions and coverage litigation
• Advise insurers on first-party, third-party, and high-exposure claims
• Manage discovery, depositions, and motion practice
• Prepare for mediations, hearings, and trial

Requirements:

• JD and active New York bar
• 2–10 years of post-bar insurance coverage or related complex insurance litigation experience
• Current or recent title of Associate or equivalent — law clerks and summer associates will not be considered
• Experience drafting coverage analysis or handling coverage disputes
