The attorney will also establish and maintain good relationships with claims representatives and clients, and occasionally conduct training sessions for Legal, Claims, or other departments.

Skills required for the position include the ability to cultivate strong working relationships with internal and external partners, detail-oriented and analytical thinking, and persuasive oral and written communication skills. Candidates should have a broad knowledge of insurance law, familiarity with the latest developments in the practice of law, and pertinent knowledge in related fields. A process-oriented mindset with the proven ability to meet deadlines and stay organized is essential, along with proficiency with technologies that reduce costs and facilitate the practice of law and remote work.
