A bit about us:

Founded over 30 years ago and built on an entrepreneurial spirit most firms talk about but rarely practice, we have grown to 100+ attorneys across ten offices from coast to coast — including our New York office in the heart of the Financial District, steps from the waterfront and one of the most active insurance defense markets in the country.

We're a full-service business law firm recognized in U.S. News & World Report's "Best Law Firms" and named among the Best Companies to Work For in Law. Our model is simple: give attorneys real autonomy, keep bureaucracy out of the way, and let talented people build the practice they want.

Panel counsel for major carriers across employment, auto liability, medical malpractice, and professional liability. Our New York team handles everything from routine coverage matters to complex, high-profile litigation — for insurance companies, large self-insurers, and Fortune 500 clients alike.

Why join us?
  • Base salary: $165k–$200k + bonus
  • Medical, dental, vision, matching 401(k), life and disability insurance
  • Generous PTO, sick leave, and paid holidays
  • Hybrid — 3 days in office
  • No bureaucracy, no committees — attorneys here build their practice with real autonomy and direct client relationships from day one
  • Cross-referral pipeline into corporate, real estate, labor & employment, healthcare, and professional liability
  • Partnership track that's real and active


Job Details

You'll manage a complex defense docket independently from inception through trial, with direct client relationships across insurance carriers, large self-insurers, and corporate clients.

  • Handle all phases — discovery, depositions, motion practice, hearings, arbitrations, and trial
  • Manage GL, premises, bad faith, statutory delay/denial, and coverage matters from day one
  • Draft pleadings, motions, and briefs across a full range of insurance defense claims
  • Collaborate across practice groups including corporate, real estate, and labor & employment

Looking for:
