Our client, a national litigation firm, is seeking an associate attorney for its insurance coverage group in Florida.

The position will have a focus on third-party insurance coverage and bad faith matters on behalf of our Insurance clients.

We seek candidates with:

• Minimum of 2 years’ experience handling third-party coverage and bad faith matters, including drafting coverage opinions, reservation of rights letters, and representing insurers in coverage litigation, as well as all litigation functions related to bad faith matters;
• Ability to analyze sophisticated and complex factual and legal issues;
• Excellent legal-research, writing, and advocacy skills;
• Ability to multitask and manage multiple deadlines;
• Strong interpersonal and presentation skills;
• Proven ability to produce top quality work;
• A willingness to be proactive and take ownership of projects and assignments, but also be able to work within a team structure when needed;
• Experience in federal court preferred. 

This position will allow the attorney to immediately contribute and engage in meaningful work to further address our client’s legal needs. The position is for the Fort Lauderdale office, but can be based in their Tampa office, hybrid or completely remote. Compensation is competitive with opportunity for bonus and credit for business origination.
