Coverage Counsel - REMOTE

We are currently partnered with a nationally respected legal team who is seeking an experienced attorney with a background in professional liability matters to support the oversight and resolution of complex claims. This position is ideal for a lawyer coming from a private law firm environment who is ready to take on a more strategic, advisory role. The focus will be on evaluating liability and coverage issues, managing risk, and guiding claims toward resolution across a range of professional and specialty insurance lines.

This is a fully remote role, offering flexibility and the opportunity to work with a collaborative national team.

  • Independently handle a portfolio of insurance claims, from early-stage review through final resolution.

  • Analyze and interpret policy language in the context of professional liability, D&O, employment practices, and related areas.

  • Draft formal communications articulating coverage positions, including reservation of rights and denial letters.

  • Develop and implement strategic plans to resolve disputes, including negotiation and participation in mediations.

  • Engage and oversee outside counsel, aligning legal strategy with business objectives.

  • Provide concise reporting on legal exposure, case developments, and resolution options.

  • Collaborate with internal teams and external stakeholders to ensure timely, effective outcomes.

Coverage Counsel Qualifications:

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited institution and active license to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.

  • Minimum of 3 years of relevant legal experience, preferably gained in a private law firm setting.

  • Strong legal writing, policy interpretation, and client advisory skills.

  • Demonstrated ability to manage a high-volume caseload with minimal oversight.

  • Prior experience in insurance coverage analysis or professional liability matters is highly preferred.
