What are the responsibilities and job description for the Insurance Coverage Attorney position at Gerber Ciano Kelly Brady LLP?
Gerber Ciano Kelly Brady is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Insurance Coverage Senior Associate Attorney to join our team. The ideal candidate should have a minimum of 5 years of experience in insurance coverage or similar insurance-related work.
This position requires a high level of motivation, flexibility, initiative, and the ability to manage a caseload from beginning to end. The ideal candidate should demonstrate good judgment, strong and professional communication skills, and a friendly, outgoing demeanor.

Responsibilities Include
At Gerber Ciano Kelly Brady, we're building something different. We believe in a new legal services model — one unrestrained by the traditional billable hour and driven instead by exceptional client service, innovative technology, creativity, efficiency, and unparalleled value. Our mission is to create a community of legal service providers who are passionate about what they do and committed to doing it better.
We approach our work through teamwork, continuous process improvement, alternative service models, and cutting-edge technology. While professional licensing requires us to be a law firm, nothing says we have to act like one. Our team is composed of diverse individuals from a wide range of socio-economic, cultural, geographic, and educational backgrounds — and we believe that diversity of perspective is one of our greatest strengths.
Our Values
We put our people first and communicate openly. We share goals, success, and accountability — no individual agendas. We treat everyone with respect and humility. We maximize every opportunity, embrace change, and always look for yes. We nurture creativity, growth, and a little weirdness — because a great team is also a great community.
Professional Growth & Career Development
We are deeply committed to the growth and development of every member of our team. At GCKB, professional development isn't a perk — it's a priority. We invest in our people through ongoing learning opportunities, mentorship, and a culture that actively supports each team member in pursuing their individual career goals. Whether you're looking to deepen your expertise, expand your skill set, or grow into new responsibilities, we want to help you get there. We believe that when our people thrive, our clients and our firm thrive alongside them. In areas involving litigation, we are a trial firm. As a result, we are committed to and invest in training the next generation of trial lawyers.
Compensation And Benefits
Compensation is commensurate with experience and skill set, and comes with a comprehensive benefits package including health, life, short-term and long-term disability insurance, 401(k) (with generous vested match), flexible work options, and paid time off.
