Cohen Cunningham DeRose Higgins Lyon LLP was founded on a shared vision: to build the kind of law firm we always knew was possible - one rooted in excellence, integrity, and mutual respect. This foundation will continue to strengthen as we grow with careful intent to preserve our core values that make us who we are. We bring deep expertise, a collaborative culture, and an unwavering belief that high performance and human connection can (and should) coexist.

At Cohen Cunningham, Inspired Advocacy isn’t just a tagline - it’s who we are. We’re building a firm where talent, integrity, and humanity matter in equal measure. We’re looking for people who are not only excellent at what they do, but who thrive in a collaborative, ego-free environment where curiosity, humility, and humor are valued. We provide competitive compensation and benefits. We offer Community. Mentorship. Growth. A place where your contributions matter and diverse perspectives make us all stronger. We take the practice of law seriously. Ourselves? Not so much.

We’re seeking a full-time Professional Liability Associate to join our Metro New York team. Candidates should have at least three years of experience managing the full life cycle of litigation matters, including discovery, depositions, motion practice, and preparation for mediation, arbitration, and trial.

Specific experience with Accounting Liability, Lawyer Professional Liability, Directors & Officers Liability, and Employment Practices Liability are a plus. Admission to the New York Bar is required. Additional federal and state admissions are viewed favorably. We have offices throughout the state and offer flexible remote work options for qualified candidates.

The annualized salary range for this position is $130,000 to $180,000. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors permitted by law. This position includes a comprehensive benefits package, which features health and dental insurance, a 401(k) plan, and additional offerings designed to support overall well-being.
