First Party Property Associate Attorney

Overview

The Fort Lauderdale office of Lewis Brisbois, a full-service AmLaw 100 firm, is actively seeking an attorney to join its First Party Property Practice.

The ideal candidate will have at least two (2) to (7) years of experience in first party property defense. Admission to the Florida Bar is required.

Lewis Brisbois' attorneys are routinely involved with first party claims and lawsuits which involve catastrophic losses, including earthquakes, floods, hail, tropical storms and hurricanes. We also have vast experience with fires, explosions, collapse, equipment and machinery malfunction, construction accidents, water damage, water main breaks, mold, theft of property, property contamination, and other pollution-related matters.

Our attorneys assist insurers with claims investigations, coverage interpretation, coverage analysis, policy drafting, and litigation of losses throughout the United States and abroad. We assist in Department of Insurance inquiries and hearings. Our attorneys also regularly conduct and participate in fraud and arson investigations, including conducting examinations under oath and handling "bad faith" litigation, and have testified in criminal trials arising out of questionable claims.

We also regularly conduct and participate in appraisals. Our attorneys serve as national coverage counsel and national coordinating counsel for several insurers, and often monitor litigation across the country.

Although we would prefer that you have some experience in first party property insurance law, we are also interested in working with developing talented attorneys who come to us with excellent skills in any litigation arena. If you have substantive litigation experience, a demonstrated interest in insurance law, and are looking for an opportunity in a growing, collaborative firm, we invite you to apply.

We offer competitive compensation and in addition, Lewis Brisbois offers a range of benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401k with employer contribution, and a bonus for those who meet their minimum hourly requirement.
