Associate / Attorney - Insurance Coverage

Insurance Coverage Attorney – Chicago - Up to $185,000 | Hybrid | First-Party Property / Coverage Litigation

• Complex, high-value matters – exposure to significant commercial property losses, catastrophic claims and complex coverage disputes. The firm's first-party practice publicly describes handling major domestic and international property claims across a wide range of industries.
• Build real coverage expertise – develop experience across policy interpretation, coverage opinions, EUOs, depositions, motions, mediations and litigation strategy.
• Hands-on responsibility – take matters from pre-suit investigation and analysis through active litigation and resolution.
• Long-term progression – strong opportunity for an ambitious attorney looking to develop within a specialist practice.
• Hybrid working – approximately 3 days per week in the Chicago office
