At BatesCarey, exceptional work begins with exceptional people. We are a nationally recognized insurance coverage and litigation firm with a global reach, trusted by leading insurers and reinsurers to handle complex disputes, emerging risks, and matters that can shape the law. Our lawyers and legal professionals do work that is sophisticated, challenging, and meaningful from the start.
We are growing with intention. That means we look for people who are curious, agile, collaborative, and serious about becoming excellent. It also means we invest in them. At BatesCarey, your work has impact, your judgment develops through real experience, and your growth is treated as part of the firm’s future.
What is it Like to Work at BatesCarey?
BatesCarey specializes in insurance coverage litigation and claims counseling, with one of the largest insurer-side coverage practices in the United States. The firm offers attorneys and legal professionals the opportunity to work on sophisticated matters involving coverage litigation, bad faith, reinsurance, professional liability, cyber, emerging risks, commercial general liability (CGL), first-party property, transportation, healthcare, and other major insurance lines.
The work is challenging because the matters are important. Our clients bring us complex questions, high-exposure disputes, and issues without easy answers. For lawyers who want depth, responsibility, and a chance to help shape the direction of insurance law, BatesCarey offers the kind of platform that is difficult to find.
Our Culture
Great lawyers are built through mentorship, trust, and real opportunity.
We do not believe professional growth should wait years to begin. Associates work directly with experienced partners on active matters, engage with sophisticated clients, and take meaningful responsibility early in their careers. Legal professionals are trusted members of the team, not background support. Every role contributes to the quality of the work and the strength of the client relationship.
When you join BatesCarey, you can expect hands-on mentoring from highly regarded lawyers who take your development seriously. You can expect early client exposure and substantive responsibility. You can expect a collaborative environment where people share ideas, support one another, and work toward the same result. You can also expect a two-tier partnership structure that creates transparency and gives ambitious lawyers a concrete path forward.
We want people who are motivated by hard questions, strong writing, careful analysis, and the chance to do work that matters. We also want people who make the team better. Talent matters. Judgment matters. Character matters, too.
Inclusion
Different perspectives make us stronger.
BatesCarey is committed to building a workplace where people are valued, respected, and empowered to contribute. We recognize that our lawyers and legal professionals come from different backgrounds, experiences, and paths. Those differences strengthen our work, deepen our understanding, and make us better advocates for our clients.
Inclusion at BatesCarey is not treated as a separate initiative from excellence. It is part of how excellent teams are built. We want every person at the firm to have a seat at the table, a voice in the conversation, and a future here.
Benefits and Compensation
Depth where it counts.
BatesCarey offers competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being, security, and long-term growth. That includes strong health, dental, and life insurance options, a 401(k) with profit sharing, paid CLEs and bar dues, and generous time off.
We want people building careers here, not simply doing jobs. That requires meaningful work, clear expectations, strong mentorship, fair compensation, and a culture that respects the person behind the professional.
