Attorney

Insurance Coverage Attorney | Manhattan, NY (Hybrid) – $220K

Location/Schedule: Manhattan, NY (Hybrid, 3 days in the office)

Base Salary: $220K

Practice: Senior coverage seat. Opinions, reservation-of-rights letters, declaratory judgment actions, excess, and London-market files. Not a general-liability associate role.

Our client is one of the better-known AV-rated insurance boutiques in Manhattan. The book includes Lloyd’s syndicates, London-market companies, and U.S. excess carriers. The target is 1,900 hours. The office expectation is three days. Lawyers in the group have come from strong schools and from large-firm and specialist insurance practices.

Why You Should Join:

• 1,900 Hours and 3 Days in the Office – Below the usual New York insurance load. Two days remote is the schedule, not a favor.
• London-Market and Excess Coverage – Lloyd’s syndicates, London-market companies, and U.S. excess carriers. Not a personal-lines desk.
• $220K for a Senior Coverage Lawyer – Boutique pay set for someone who can already write an opinion and run a DJ action.
• An AV-Rated Manhattan Insurance Boutique – High-rated in this market. The files match the reputation.
• A Group Built From Large Firms and Specialist Shops – People who already know coverage, in an office small enough that you are not three layers down.

What You’ll Actually Do:

• Draft coverage opinions and reservation-of-rights letters on excess and London-market placements.
• Handle declaratory judgment actions and coverage litigation.
• Advise carriers on first-party, third-party, and reinsurance issues.
• Take depositions and brief dispositive motions.

Requirements:

• JD and active New York bar
• 3+ years post-bar insurance coverage - current Senior Associate, Counsel, or Partner
• Coverage opinions and at least one declaratory judgment action on your résumé
