We also recognize the importance of community involvement and provide opportunities for attorneys to participate in pro bono and other service-oriented work while continuing to build valuable advocacy and client-development skills.

Job Details

We are seeking an experienced litigator to join a sophisticated insurance practice handling complex coverage disputes and high-exposure matters on behalf of insurer clients.

We are particularly interested in attorneys with established insurance coverage experience, including policy analysis and coverage-related litigation. However, we will also consider strong litigators with insurance-industry experience who are interested in developing deeper coverage expertise.

This opportunity is well suited to an attorney who enjoys analyzing complicated contractual and factual issues, managing substantive litigation responsibilities, and working directly with clients. We offer experienced attorneys meaningful ownership of their matters while providing the support and mentorship necessary to continue developing their practices.

• Manage written discovery and document-intensive matters
• Take and defend depositions and assist with witness preparation
• Develop case strategy and manage matters through various stages of litigation
• Work with experts and other professionals on complex factual and technical issues
• Participate in hearings, mediations, settlement discussions, and trial preparation
• Maintain direct communication with clients regarding developments, exposure, and strategy

Qualifications

• 5+ years of meaningful litigation experience
• Insurance coverage experience strongly preferred, but not required for an otherwise strong insurance litigator
• Experience representing insurance carriers or working on insurer-side matters is highly desirable
• Experience reviewing or analyzing insurance policies is particularly valuable
• Strong deposition, discovery, and motion practice experience
• Excellent legal research, analytical, and writing skills
• Ability to independently manage substantial portions of complex litigation matters
• Strong client communication and case-management abilities
