Job Details

Position Summary

We are seeking a Senior Coverage Attorney to join the Insurance / Defense practice of a respected law firm. This attorney will handle complex insurance coverage matters (including first‐party property claims), UM / UI (uninsured / underinsured motorist) litigation, and other related matters. While a book of business is a plus, it is not required. The attorney will operate as a key team member supporting a senior associate who is set to retire in the next few years , creating a unique opportunity for the incoming attorney to step into greater responsibility, ramp up, and ultimately build their own practice.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage coverage issue matters, including policy interpretation, additional insured status, allocation issues, extra-contractual exposure, and first‐party property claims.
  • Lead UM / UI litigation, including pleadings, discovery, motion practice, depositions, trial preparation or trial.
  • Counsel clients on strategy, risk assessment, and litigation management.
  • Collaborate with firm leadership, supervising paralegals and junior attorneys as needed.
  • Over time, develop client relationships and build a book of business; prepare to assume lead coverage attorney role as the senior associate transitions out.
  • Requirements

  • Senior‐level experience (e.g., 7+ years) in insurance coverage and UM / UI litigation; first‐party property claims exposure preferred.
  • Strong litigation experience with a track record of managing matters independently.
  • Excellent analytical, writing, and oral advocacy skills.
  • Proven ability to interact effectively with clients and colleagues.
  • Desire to grow professionally, build relationships, and eventually build a book of business.
  • Interested in hearing more? Easy Apply now by clicking the "Apply Now" button.
