🚨 Insurance Defense Attorney | Manhattan, NY (Remote) – Up to $200K + Partner Track

Location/Schedule: Manhattan, NY. (Remote)


Base Salary: $140K–$200K, depending on experience.

Practice: Insurance defense, construction litigation, New York Labor Law and general liability.

Our client is an AV-rated national insurance-defense and coverage firm representing major corporations, property owners, contractors and leading insurance groups. The team handles complex, high-exposure matters rather than a predominantly low-value volume caseload.


Why You Should Join:

  • Up to $200K Base Salary – Compensation above the typical insurance-defense market for attorneys with strong experience.
  • Major National Clients – Represent Fortune 500 companies, insurers, developers, contractors and property owners.
  • Complex, High-Exposure Cases – Handle New York Labor Law, construction, premises-liability and general-liability matters.
  • Real Litigation Ownership – Manage cases through discovery, depositions, motion practice, mediation and trial preparation.
  • Proven Partner Track – Many of the firm’s partners developed internally, supported by direct mentorship and hands-on training.


What You’ll Actually Do:

  • Defend construction, Labor Law and general-liability claims.
  • Develop case strategy and evaluate liability, damages and risk transfer.
  • Draft pleadings, discovery responses and substantive motions.
  • Take and defend depositions.
  • Attend court conferences, hearings and mediations.
  • Communicate directly with insurers, corporate clients and claims professionals.


Requirements:

  • Active New York Bar admission.
  • At least three years of insurance-defense litigation experience.
  • Construction, Labor Law and general-liability experience.
  • Strong drafting, deposition and case-management skills.
  • Stable employment history and strong academic credentials.


No one fits every box perfectly—if you are a New York insurance-defense attorney seeking higher-quality matters, stronger compensation and a genuine route toward partnership, let’s talk confidentially.
