BCG Attorney Search’s Post

If you're an insurance defense or insurance coverage attorney, you'll want to read this. The data reinforce what my LHH colleagues and I already felt in our bones: Insurance law is HOT in Chicago. In Q1 2024, there have been more lateral insurance hires in Chicago than any other city in the country, nearly doubling the next closest contender (NYC). In fact, Chicago has seen a whopping 75% Q/Q increase in the number of lateral insurance hires, and we still have roughly two weeks to go in Q1. Surprisingly, national numbers paint a very different picture, reflecting a 23% Q/Q *DECREASE* in the number of lateral insurance hires. You could say that nationwide is NOT on your side. (Figured you earned a dad joke for reading this far.) Bottom line, if you are an insurance coverage or defense attorney in Chicago, you are in extremely high demand at a time when insurance law has cooled significantly in other markets. When is the last time you explored your career options? Strike while the iron is hot. My team is working on multiple insurance litigation/coverage roles right now in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Troy, and elsewhere. If you're ready to make a change, let's talk.

If you’re a mid-level associate, you’re likely looking to the future this time of year and you may not like what you see.  Maybe you’re not getting the experience you want.  Maybe you’re not appreciated and getting the recognition that you’re due.  Maybe you’re working on a team that is not invested in your future. I’ve been there.  Maybe you’re stuck on a soul-crushing case. And it’s possible that it’s time for a change.  That said, we have an opening for a litigation associate with our insurance recovery team in DC. A little bit about us: (𝟏) 𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 – 𝐨𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠. We represent only policyholders not insurance companies, and we take pride in leveling the playing field for commercial insureds. (𝟐) 𝐖𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬. After my wife recently had a baby, I was off for a few weeks. I never once had to question whether our clients’ needs were being met because we look out for one another. We’re committed to ensuring associates working with us receive substantive experience to enhance their skills and don’t wake up as a senior associate and realize that they need to focus on client development. We want our associates attending hearings, taking depositions, and presenting to clients and prospective clients. (𝟑) 𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬.  In litigation, while there are some folks with natural proclivities, there is no prosthetic for hard work. We’re not a sweatshop but we do work long hours on tasks that can be tedious. We focus on specific provisions of insurance policies, drilling down on every aspect of the language. It doesn’t bother us. We know it’s the difference between good lawyering and great lawyering and between winning and losing, and we love the work. If you think you may be a fit and you’re not intimidated by the sexiness of insurance, I invite you to apply or reach out to discuss.
