Associate Attorney - Insurance Recovery, Counseling & Litigation

Lippes Mathias LLP seeks an ambitious attorney with 3-5 years of experience to join the Firm’s Insurance Recovery, Counseling & Litigation team in our Clarence or Rochester location.

Our insurance coverage practice is nationwide in scope and assists policyholder clients in resolving complex insurance coverage disputes, securing carrier participation in defense and settlement of claims, and maximizing insurance recoveries. Our team advises on the full spectrum of insurance coverage issue areas, including general liability, excess/umbrella, professional, pollution, cyber, auto, property, builders' risk, employee dishonesty, directors and officers, and wrap-up programs, among others.

The ideal candidate will have strong and effective analytical, writing, and overall communication skills. Previous experience representing policyholders in insurance coverage matters, including reviewing insurance policies, handling claims, litigating insurance coverage disputes, and/or drafting contractual indemnity and insurance provisions is preferred but not required. Experience with insurance policies, coverage issues, particularly construction insurance coverage, and litigation and/or corporate transactional work is a plus.

A new Associate should anticipate analytical work in an environment that provides the necessary training and guidance in the specific areas of practice. Salary and benefits are commensurate with experience.

A New York bar license is required.

Salary range: $110,000-$140,000/year. This is a good faith estimate for the position based on location and minimum criteria. Actual compensation may vary based on experience and other job-related factors as permitted by law.

Full time employees are also eligible for a year-end bonus and a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision coverage beginning the first of the month following hire; immediate eligibility for the firm’s 401(k) and profit sharing plan; firm-arranged parking at our downtown locations; and firm-paid long-term disability coverage for all employees.
