We need to output HTML fragment only, with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Latitude Legal is seeking an experienced California-licensed Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation Attorney to join a policyholder-side insurance firm on a full-time engagement basis. This is a fully remote role, open to candidates anywhere in the U.S. The firm represents only policyholders (individuals and families whose claims have been denied, delayed, or underpaid) in bad faith and coverage litigation involving long-term care, long-term disability, life, health, and homeowner's policies, along with ERISA benefit claims. Much of the firm's team of attorneys came from the carrier side, and that perspective shapes how the firm litigates. This is a role for an attorney who wants to use insurance coverage experience on behalf of insureds. The engagement is expected to run on an ongoing basis, with the potential to extend or expand over time. - What You'll Do Includes: Litigate bad faith and coverage disputes involving long-term care, disability, life, health, and related first-party policies in California state and federal court. Analyze policy language, coverage positions, and claim files to build and pursue theories of recovery against carriers. Draft complaints, demand and challenge letters, coverage analyses, discovery, and dispositive motions. Take and defend depositions, argue motions, and prepare matters for mediation, arbitration, and trial. Work directly with clients who are often navigating serious illness, disability, or the loss of a family member, and communicate with the care and clarity those matters require. Collaborate with partners on case strategy while carrying meaningful independent responsibility for your own matters. Manage a docket and maintain strong responsiveness in a fully remote environment. - Who You Are: California-licensed attorney with 3–5+ years of insurance coverage and/or bad faith litigation experience. Substantive command of insurance law (e.g., policy interpretation, coverage analysis, claims handling standards, and the statutory and common law framework governing bad faith in California). Experience is welcome from either side of the "v." Attorneys who litigated bad faith, fraud, and coverage matters for carriers, or advised insurers on coverage opinions, are strong candidates. This is not an insurance defense role; the firm represents insureds exclusively. Long-term care, disability, life, or health insurance litigation experience is a significant plus, but not required. Strong legal research, writing, and motion practice skills; able to take partner direction and also run independently with assignments. Comfortable working closely with clients in sensitive, high-stakes personal circumstances. Reasonably available during West Coast business hours and effective in a fully remote setting. J.D. from an accredited law school. Outstanding references. - Compensation Pay: The annualized pay for this position ranges from $130,000-$200,000 when calculated on a full-time basis. Pay for contract engagements is based on multiple factors including but not limited to work experience, qualifications, credentials, location, market supply/demand, and the candidate’s preference (each candidate’s pay rate affects the client bill rate which can affect the candidate’s competitiveness for the position). - Benefits: In addition to salary, Latitude Engaged Professionals are W2 employees of Latitude and are eligible for full benefits when working in roles for 20 hours per week, including a Qualified 401k plan. Benefits-eligible Latitude employees receive complimentary Group Life, LTD and AD&D and professional liability insurance. Latitude Attorneys also receive a CLE and Professional Expense stipend. - Confidentiality: Latitude will not propose you to prospective clients without your prior consent. Candidates selected for further consideration will be contacted. - About Latitude: description of company. This is boilerplate? Might be considered generic but still substantive? It's about the company. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Latitude" section is not boilerplate? It's describing the company. Might be considered okay to keep? However, we need to decide if we include a section for it. The allowed headings are limited to those listed. There's no heading for "About the company". So we likely should not create a section for that; we could fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. The "About Latitude" is not required headings; we could drop it as it's not required. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we likely include sections: About the role (maybe the introductory paragraph), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (Who You Are), Qualifications (maybe overlapping with Requirements?), Skills (maybe separate), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Schedule not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section if no content. Pay and Benefits have content. Also maybe we need a section for "About the role" which includes the introductory description. That seems appropriate. We need to decide which headings to use: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (What You'll Do). Requirements (Who You Are). Qualifications maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we could treat Requirements as the experience/license, Qualifications as education (J.D.) and references? Skills maybe separate list: strong legal research, writing, motion practice; ability to take direction and run independently; comfort with clients; availability West Coast hours; remote effectiveness. Could be part of Requirements though. But we can split. We must not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each section has substantive content. Let's extract: About the role: The first paragraph(s) describing the role, firm, remote, etc. Responsibilities: bullet list of duties. Requirements: California-licensed attorney with 3–5+ years experience; substantive command of insurance law; experience from either side; not insurance defense; long-term care etc experience a plus. Qualifications: J.D. from accredited law school; outstanding references. Skills: Strong legal research, writing, motion practice; able to take partner direction and run independently; comfortable working closely with clients in sensitive circumstances; reasonably available during West Coast business hours; effective in fully remote setting. Benefits: as described. Pay: as described. Schedule: not mentioned; we should omit. We also have confidentiality statement; could be minor metadata; maybe fold into a short

    under About the role or drop. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." Confidentiality is minor metadata; we could include a short

    under About the role or maybe after Benefits. But we need to avoid creating extra sections. Could add a

    after Benefits about confidentiality. Also "About Latitude" description is company info; could be considered minor metadata; we could drop it. Thus final HTML:
