Distinct are partnering with a highly regarded mid-sized New York law firm that is continuing to expand its Insurance Coverage practice. The team handles sophisticated, high-exposure coverage matters across a broad range of policies, including general liability, D&O, E&O, employment practices, professional liability, and commercial property & casualty.

This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who enjoys working on complex legal issues and wants to be part of a collaborative, well-respected team where their work will have real visibility and impact. The role offers exposure to a mix of coverage analysis, litigation, and client advisory work in an area of law that continues to evolve quickly.

The firm is looking to speak with attorneys who have between 2–8 years of experience within insurance coverage and policy analysis, alongside a strong understanding of policy interpretation and insurance law principles. You should feel confident handling matters from inception through trial, including experience within both state and federal courts, and be comfortable drafting pleadings, motions, and detailed coverage opinions. Strong communication skills are important, as the role involves working closely with clients, advising on nuanced coverage issues, and playing an active role in litigation strategy, negotiations, and hearings.

Admission to the New York and/or New Jersey Bar is required, with Pennsylvania admission considered a plus.

What really makes this opportunity stand out is the balance the firm offers — sophisticated work and strong career development within a supportive environment, but without the bureaucracy and hierarchy often associated with larger firms.
