This is a unique opportunity for attorneys interested in a primarily transactional, advisory-driven insurance practice with limited litigation. The role sits at the intersection of coverage analysis, claims monitoring, and client advisory work, supporting domestic and international insurer clients on complex professional liability matters.


Associates work closely with partners on sophisticated matters involving policy interpretation, risk assessment, and ongoing claims oversight across a range of professional sectors. The practice is highly collaborative and offers significant client exposure in a boutique environment with strong institutional recognition.

  • Analyzing insurance policies and providing coverage, exposure, and risk assessments
  • Preparing detailed coverage opinions, reports, and client-facing memoranda
  • Communicating directly with insurers, brokers, and insured professionals regarding claims developments
  • Evaluating pleadings, expert materials, and case updates to assess liability and exposure
  • Coordinating with defense counsel on strategy, budgets, and case progression, as needed
  • Tracking reserves, reporting obligations, and key claim developments throughout lifecycle
  • Supporting occasional coverage litigation and declaratory judgment matters
  • Maintaining ongoing client relationships through consistent advisory reporting and updates


This position offers:

  • A primarily transactional / advisory insurance coverage practice (not litigation-heavy)
  • Direct exposure to domestic and international insurer clients
  • Sophisticated professional liability matters across multiple industries
  • Early responsibility with significant client interaction
  • A boutique, mentorship-driven environment with strong institutional reputation
  • High-quality, steady workflow in a specialized national practice


Requirements:

  • J.D. from an accredited law school
  • 4–7 years of experience in insurance coverage, defense, or professional liability
  • Strong exposure to policy analysis, claims handling, or coverage work
  • Excellent legal writing and analytical skills
  • Strong interpersonal and client communication abilities
  • Admission to the Georgia Bar (or eligibility to obtain)


What's Offered:

  • Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
  • 1,900 billable hour requirement with consistent workflow
  • Quarterly and annual bonus opportunities
  • Full benefits package (health, dental, vision, 401(k) with employer contribution, parental leave, life insurance, professional development support)
  • Collaborative boutique culture with direct partner access
  • Clear path for long-term growth within a specialized practice area


Please do not hesitate to respond if you are interested.
