Job Description

Insurance defense litigation Attorney

Insurance Coverage Attorney (4-8 Years Experience)

Orange County Airport Area | Hybrid-Friendly Environment

A well-regarded Orange County-based law firm is seeking a skilled and motivated Insurance Coverage Attorney with 4-8 years of experience to join its growing practice. This is an outstanding opportunity for an attorney who enjoys sophisticated coverage work, client advisory responsibilities, and litigation, all within a firm culture that values mentorship, collaboration, and professional growth.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This firm offers the best of both worlds: the personal, collegial environment of a smaller firm combined with the caliber of clients and complexity of matters typically handled by much larger practices. Attorneys here benefit from strong camaraderie, meaningful business development coaching, and hands-on involvement in high-level insurance coverage matters.

The Role

The Insurance Coverage Attorney will work on complex and nuanced coverage issues, advising insurer clients and handling coverage-related litigation from start to finish.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Analyzing and interpreting insurance policies, including primary, excess, and specialty lines
  • Providing coverage opinions and strategic legal advice to insurer clients
  • Managing all aspects of insurance coverage litigation, including pleadings, discovery, motion practice, and trial preparation
  • Representing clients in state and federal courts , as well as arbitration and mediation
  • Conducting legal research and drafting memoranda, briefs, and coverage analyses
  • Communicating effectively with clients, opposing counsel, and internal teams
What We're Looking For
  • J.D. from an accredited law school
  • Active California Bar membership in good standing
  • 4-8+ years of experience in insurance coverage and/or insurance defense litigation
  • Strong analytical, research, and legal writing skills
  • Experience with CGL, professional liability, and/or property coverage matters preferred
  • Ability to manage multiple matters and thrive in a fast-paced practice

Superior academic credentials, sound judgment, and strong writing skills are essential.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary range: $165,000-$205,000 , depending on experience
  • Competitive bonus programs
  • Comprehensive benefits and ongoing training
  • Long-term growth potential within a stable and respected practice
The Bottom Line

This is an excellent opportunity for an insurance coverage attorney seeking sophisticated work, client visibility, and a supportive firm culture -without sacrificing professional development or quality of life.
