What we're looking for:

We need someone with 2–4 years of insurance coverage experience who has handled policyholder-side or defense-side coverage matters and is ready to independently manage their own caseload. You should be comfortable advising sophisticated corporate and tech-company clients on complex coverage disputes and have a track record of strong legal writing, coverage analysis, and civil litigation. Bonus points if you have policyholder-side experience or familiarity with cyber, D&O, and E&O policies.

What you'll do:

- Analyze and interpret insurance policies across commercial lines — GL, D&O, E&O, cyber, property, and more — to advise institutional clients on coverage positions

- Take ownership of coverage matters from intake through resolution, including drafting coverage opinions, reservation of rights responses, and demand letters

- 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
