Insurance Defense Attorney

AJ Chambers ®
Manhattan, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 1/10/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 3/8/2026

A well-established and growing New York insurance defense litigation firm is seeking attorneys with experience in general liability, automobile, labor law, municipal tort liability, and/or civil rights litigation to join its expanding team.


With more than 70 years of history in the New York market, this mid-size firm offers the rare combination of institutional stability, sophisticated litigation work, and hands-on attorney development—making it an excellent platform for attorneys looking to build real courtroom experience while maintaining work-life flexibility.


Why This Firm?

  • Proven Stability & Reputation
  • A long-standing New York litigation firm trusted by major insurance carriers and municipalities. Attorneys benefit from consistent workflow, strong client relationships, and a respected name on their résumé.
  • Meaningful Responsibility from Day One
  • This is not a “paper-pushing” role. Associates are entrusted with their own caseload, direct client reporting, depositions, motion practice, and regular court appearances.
  • Exposure to High-Value, Complex Matters
  • Work on a diverse mix of general liability, municipal defense, and civil rights cases, offering broad litigation experience across state and federal courts.
  • Mid-Size Firm Environment
  • Enjoy the support and resources of a well-run firm, while still benefiting from accessibility to partners, mentorship, and visibility for your work, something often missing in larger platforms.
  • Remote Flexibility
  • Remote work is permitted, providing balance and autonomy while remaining integrated into a collaborative litigation team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage a litigation caseload from inception through resolution
  • Appear for virtual and in-person court appearances
  • Draft and argue motions
  • Conduct and defend depositions
  • Prepare reports for insurance carriers and municipal clients

Requirements

  • Active New York State Bar admission (required)
  • Federal Bar admission (SDNY and/or EDNY) preferred
  • Prior experience in insurance defense, general liability, municipal torts, and/or civil rights litigation
