The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in insurance coverage, risk transfer, and construction insurance matters and a strong background in litigation and legal analysis.

Duties:

  • Interpret insurance policies and provide coverage opinions.
  • Litigate coverage matters, including motions for summary judgment and appeals on coverage-related issues.
  • Handle depositions, court appearances, and litigate declaratory judgment actions.
  • Conduct legal research and draft legal documents, including pleadings and briefs.

Requirements:

  • JD degree from an accredited law school with excellent academic credentials.
  • 5+ years of experience in insurance coverage law, particularly in risk transfer and construction insurance coverage.
  • Admitted and in good standing with the New York Bar; admission to the New Jersey Bar is a plus.

  • Adaptability and willingness to take on new challenges.

This firm is as New York-centric as they come, with East Coast roots almost 150 years old. With relatively inexpensive corporate services, including banking, corporate, labor, municipal and trust and estates departments, this firm is quite happy to remain a strong regional firm. To be sure, this firm can not be confused with the 'white shoe' New York firm. The perks are modest here, as are associate salaries. The attitude is grounded, though, and associates remark that they feel good knowing that their clients got great representation at a reasonable cost, and revel in the long-term relationships such customer service garners.

Your information will not be forwarded to any employers at this time. A recruiter will contact you with more information once our internal review of your resume is completed.
