This position offers the opportunity to work with a collaborative team, representing national and international insurance clients across a broad range of complex coverage areas, including but not limited to bad faith, professional liability, pollution, construction defect, personal and advertising injury, cyber liability, and excess liability matters.

In this position, the attorney will play a meaningful role in counseling clients on coverage analysis, risk assessment, and litigation strategy. Responsibilities include drafting and reviewing coverage opinions, reservation-of-rights letters, and declaratory judgment pleadings; managing discovery and motion practice; taking and defending depositions; participating in mediations and settlement negotiations; and collaborating with trial teams through resolution. Senior candidates may also supervise junior attorneys, contribute to practice group initiatives, and support business development efforts through client engagement and thought leadership.

Position Requirements:

• Admission to the Illinois Bar and good standing are required.
• Ideal candidates will have at least 5 years of substantive experience handling insurance coverage and bad-faith litigation in state and federal courts.
• Demonstrated experience with first-party and third-party insurance coverage disputes is strongly preferred.
• Candidates should possess strong legal research, writing, and analytical capabilities, along with the ability to manage complex matters independently.
• Experience working directly with insurance carriers, claims professionals, and in-house counsel is a plus.
• Partner-level candidates should have a portable book of business or a demonstrated ability to contribute to practice growth, though a book is not required for senior associate candidates.

This role offers a clear runway for professional growth within a nationally recognized Insurance Services practice. Hinshaw is committed to attorney development and provides structured mentorship, hands-on training, and opportunities to take on leadership responsibilities early.
