The New York office of McGuireWoods seeks an Associate to join its Insurance Recovery group, within our Commercial Litigation Department.

We represent the full range of business clients − from emerging companies to multinational Fortune 100 corporations − operating in virtually every sector of the global economy. We provide counsel on all types of business disputes and have developed strengths in handling complex commercial litigation, financial services litigation, insurance coverage litigation, and securities litigation.  Even in a corporate environment where the pool for outside counsel work is shrinking and fewer firms are trusted to handle bet-the-company litigation, McGuireWoods’ prominence continues to grow. Our commercial litigators garner respect from high-level legal decision-makers at some of the most-respected companies, winning numerous commendations. Prestigious independent ratings publications such as Chambers USA, Chambers Global, Legal 500 US and U.S. News-Best Lawyers recognize our practice and individual lawyers among the best for business matters.

McGuireWoods, one of the world’s leading law firms, has provided legal solutions to corporate, individual, and nonprofit clients since 1834. Diversity and inclusion are essential to how we do business, informing how we recruit, retain, and promote lawyers and staff to serve clients. Along with excellent benefits, McGuireWoods offers our attorneys a competitive salary with hours and merit bonus opportunities, billable hours credit for pro bono work, and a hybrid remote option allowing flexibility and work-life balance.
