Insurance Litigation Special Counsel

$260k - $300k

Eden Rose

Insurance Litigation Special Counsel

New York, NY

Salary: $260,000-$300,000 + Bonus & Full Benefits


Step into a high-impact senior role at a leading law firm where your expertise in litigation meets complex, high-stakes insurance and reinsurance disputes. This is more than just another legal position it's a chance to shape strategy, influence outcomes, and work alongside a team that values sharp thinking and genuine collaboration.


If you bring 7+ years of litigation experience, thrive in arbitration settings, and enjoy tackling sophisticated legal challenges, this role offers the depth and autonomy you're looking for without the pressure of a partner track.



What You'll Do

  • Take the lead on complex litigation and arbitration matters, with a focus on insurance and reinsurance disputes
  • Craft compelling, strategic briefs and legal submissions
  • Prepare fact and expert witnesses for depositions, hearings, and trial
  • Own key phases of litigation from discovery through trial or arbitration
  • Partner with colleagues across teams to deliver practical, business-focused legal solutions
What We're Looking For
  • 7+ years of experience in insurance litigation
  • JD or LLM from an ABA-accredited law school
  • Active admission to the New York Bar
  • Exposure to arbitration (preferred, not required)
  • Background in insurance or reinsurance disputes
  • Exceptional writing, communication, and analytical skills
  • Poise and professionalism in high-stakes client environments
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities
  • A collaborative mindset and team-first attitude

This is a rare opportunity to do meaningful, high-level legal work in a senior capacity without the demands of a traditional partnership path. You'll have immediate responsibility, access to sophisticated matters, and the support of a team that values both excellence and balance.


If you're ready to take ownership of your work, deepen your expertise, and contribute at a high level, this role is built for you.
