Insurance Coverage Associate

About

A highly regarded Chambers-recognised boutique is looking to add an Insurance Coverage Associate to its growing team. This is a standout opportunity for an attorney who wants to specialise in complex insurance coverage work within a firm that combines high-level expertise with a genuinely supportive and flexible environment.

The firm is known for its specialist focus in insurance coverage and bad faith litigation, representing major insurers in sophisticated, high-value disputes. Despite its boutique size, it consistently competes with much larger firms on the quality and complexity of its work.

Why this role stands out

• Top-tier specialist boutique – recognised in the market for its strength in insurance coverage and bad faith litigation
• Fully remote – true flexibility without sacrificing quality of work or career progression
• High-quality, complex matters – work on nuanced coverage disputes, advisory work, and litigation in state and federal courts
• Strong mentoring culture – direct access to experienced partners and structured coaching from senior stakeholders
• Clear partnership track – transparent progression with real opportunity to advance within a growing platform
• Lean team, real responsibility – no getting lost in layers; your work and contributions are visible

The Role

You will focus on insurance coverage litigation and advisory work, including:

• Third-party insurance coverage disputes
• Policy analysis and coverage opinions
• Litigation in state and federal courts
• Drafting dispositive motions, coverage analyses, and client reports
• Working directly with insurer clients on strategy and resolution

This is an ideal role for someone who wants to deepen their expertise in insurance coverage and build a long-term career in a highly specialised area.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $155,000 – $205,000 (depending on experience)
• Bonuses: Structured bonus scheme after hitting 1800 hours, with multiple payout points per year (including October and December)

Benefits:

• Medical (base plan fully covered)
• Dental & vision (100% covered)
• Life insurance + long/short-term disability covered
• 401(k) with match after 1 year
• Flexible PTO

What they are looking for

• 3–6 years’ experience (strong 2+ years also considered)
• Background in insurance coverage (third-party coverage litigation/advisory)
• Experience in California state and/or federal litigation
• California Bar admission

Why a candidate would want this role:

• Build a true niche specialism in insurance coverage
• Join a firm with a strong market reputation despite its boutique size
• Work remotely without compromising on career progression or quality of work
• Get direct mentorship and visibility rather than being one of many associates
• Clear pathway to partnership and long-term growth

Location

• Fully Remote (California-based candidates preferred)
