The ideal candidate will have 3-4 years of experience focusing on insurance and reinsurance law, with a strong background in regulatory and transactional work within the insurance industry. The role involves handling litigation matters, including depositions and court motions, and requires excellent academic credentials and client management skills.

Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Conduct legal research and provide advice on insurance regulatory issues and transactional matters.
  • Draft and negotiate insurance-related contracts and agreements.

  • Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Retirement savings plan with employer match.
  • Paid time off and parental leave policies.
  • Professional development opportunities and mentorship programs.

Although more commonly thought of as a Washington, DC, firm, this New York office has many of the same practice areas. As this firm continues to grow its New York office, this is a tremendous opportunity for associates to get in on the ground floor in terms of shaping the character of the office. We like the litigation work that is being done in this office, as it has a decidedly corporate bent, with an emphasis on securities litigations. A down-to-earth group of attorneys, this office should emerge as a practice unto itself over time.

Your information will not be forwarded to any employers at this time. A recruiter will contact you with more information once our internal review of your resume is completed.
