Job description

Insurance Coverage Attorney | Manhattan, NY (Remote) - $250K

Location/Schedule: Manhattan, NY (Remote)

Base Salary: $250K, plus a staggered bonus that starts at 1,850 hours and reaches $30K at 2,200

Practice: Insurance coverage for carriers. Opinions, reservation-of-rights letters, declaratory judgment actions, and professional-liability coverage. Not a general-liability volume seat.

Our client has done nothing but insurance law since 1916. Nearly 100 lawyers, all on carrier work: professional liability, aviation, maritime, and large infrastructure losses. Every equity partner started as a summer associate or intern. The Head of Litigation has been recognized among the top 250 attorneys in the country.

Why You Should Join:

• $30K Bonus at 2,200 Hours - The bonus starts at 1,850 and steps up. $250K is the base, not the ceiling.
• Every Equity Partner Started as a Summer or Intern - The partnership was not hired in. That is the path.
• A 100-Year Insurance Firm - Carrier counsel since 1916. Aviation, maritime, and infrastructure losses, plus coverage for major professional firms.
• Top-250 Litigation Leadership - National reputation at the top of the group you would work in.
• They Spend Money to Keep People - Weekly, quarterly, and annual events: bowling, sports, the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge. Retention is an actual budget line.
• $250K Manhattan Coverage - A coverage seat, not a defense seat with opinions on the side.

What You’ll Actually Do:

• Draft coverage opinions and reservation-of-rights letters.
• Handle declaratory judgment actions.
• Advise carriers on professional-liability, first-party, and high-exposure claims.
• Take depositions and brief coverage motions.

Requirements:

• JD and active New York bar
• 4-8 years post-bar insurance coverage or complex insurance litigation - current Associate, Counsel, or Partner
• Coverage opinions or a declaratory judgment action
