Associate General Counsel - Litigation

What You’ll Do

You’ll own Corgi’s litigation function on the East Coast end to end: in the courtroom on the matters you carry, and at the wheel directing strategy on the ones you don’t try yourself. This is a builder’s role, not a caretaker’s - you’ll set how a modern carrier litigates from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities

• First-chair Delaware matters. Carry Corgi’s litigation in Delaware courts as lead counsel - pleadings, motions, depositions, hearings, and trial.
• Direct East Coast disputes outside Delaware. Lead strategy on matters in other East Coast jurisdictions, appearing pro hac vice with local counsel where appropriate and otherwise managing the engagement.
• Own outside counsel. Select, budget, and actively manage outside firms - set strategy, hold them to it, and control spend rather than rubber-stamping invoices.
• Build the litigation playbook. Stand up Corgi’s approach to disputes, early case assessment, settlement posture, and litigation-readiness as the company scales.
• Advise the business. Partner with leadership to spot risk early, resolve disputes before they become cases, and keep litigation aligned with where the company is going.

What We’re Looking For

• Admitted to the Delaware Bar and in good standing. This is a hard requirement — the role first-chairs Delaware matters, so DE admission is non-negotiable. (You do not need to live in Delaware; many DE-barred litigators commute from PA, MD, and NJ, and that’s fully welcome here.)
• 5+ years of business/commercial litigation with real litigation experience - you’ve taken the company’s own commercial disputes (contract, partnership, vendor, employment, IP, and similar) through dispositive motions, trial, and the moments in between. This is general business litigation, not insurance-coverage work.
• Comfortable running outside counsel, not just doing the work yourself - you know how to set strategy, budget a matter, and hold a firm accountable.
• Founder-level ownership. You move fast, own outcomes, and don’t wait to be told how the function should run - you build it.
• Bonus: experience litigating for a company in a regulated industry, financial-services litigation experience, or familiarity with Delaware Chancery practice. (Insurance-industry exposure is a nice-to-have, not a requirement - we’re hiring for business-litigation skill first.)

Compensation

$200,000–$400,000, commensurate with experience, plus equity and benefits.
