Insurance Coverage Attorney

About the Role

Join a boutique legal team advising institutional policyholders on complex insurance coverage matters. You will manage your own matters and client relationships while handling both coverage analysis and litigation.

What You'll Do

• Analyze commercial insurance policies, including general liability, D&O, E&O, cyber, and property policies, and advise clients on coverage positions.

• Manage client relationships and develop coverage strategy, tender decisions, and policy procurement considerations.

• Litigate coverage disputes in California state and federal courts, including depositions, motions, and court filings.

• Take matters from intake through resolution, drafting coverage opinions, reservation of rights responses, and demand letters.

• Manage a caseload independently with minimal supervision, with an approximate target of 100 billable hours per month.

What We're Looking For

• 1 to 4 years of civil litigation experience, including depositions, motions, and court filings.

• Active California bar admission and a JD from an accredited law school.

• Strong legal writing, analytical, and insurance coverage analysis skills.

• Experience advising institutional or corporate clients; technology-sector client experience is a plus.

• Ability to independently manage matters and sophisticated client relationships.

• Insurance coverage experience is preferred, particularly policyholder-side experience. Defense-side experience is also considered.

• Familiarity with general liability, D&O, E&O, cyber, and property coverage is valuable.

• Comfort using Westlaw, LexisNexis, and Microsoft Office.

• Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. Visa sponsorship is not available.
