Litigate coverage disputes in California state and federal courts, handling depositions, motions, and court filings
Work closely with corporate and tech-company clients to develop coverage strategy, tender decisions, and policy procurement considerations
Manage direct client relationships with sophisticated institutional policyholders from early on in your tenure
Operate independently with minimal supervision in a 10-person boutique environment, targeting approximately 100 billable hours per month
Key requirements:
Active California bar admission (non-negotiable)
2–4 years of insurance coverage experience (general civil litigation without coverage depth will not qualify)
Policyholder-side preferred; defense-side coverage considered if genuinely interested in switching orientation
Strong legal writing and coverage analysis skills
Civil litigation experience — depositions, motions, court filings
Ability to work independently and manage own book of matters
Disqualifiers: Criminal litigation background; Chubb conflicts; zero litigation experience
