Job description

Overview

Entry-Level Claims Counsel – In-House Legal Role (Richmond, VA)

Position Overview - Launch Your Legal Career in a New Direction

Are you a licensed attorney ready to take your legal skills beyond the courtroom? Our client, a well-known leader in the specialty insurance industry, is looking for an Entry-Level Claims Counsel to join their in-house team in Richmond, Virginia.

You don’t need prior insurance law experience — just your law degree, an active license in any US jurisdiction, and interest to learn. This is a fantastic career opportunity for lawyers interested in specialty insurance to gain hands-on training and mentorship in insurance law, claims management, and risk evaluation — all while working side-by-side with seasoned legal and claims professionals. Candidates with prior litigation experience in medical malpractice, employment law, personal injury, and the insurance field are also encouraged to apply!

What You’ll Do

• Learn how to manage specialty claims from start to finish
• Review insurance policies and understand coverage issues
• Collaborate with outside counsel and help move cases toward resolution
• Take part in settlement discussions and mediations
• Communicate with insureds and internal stakeholders to keep claims on track

What You Bring

• J.D. from an accredited law school
• Active law license (in good standing) in any U.S. jurisdiction
• Strong analytical, writing, and communication skills
• A desire to learn about insurance, litigation strategy, and risk management
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented, in-office environment
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint)

Why This Role Stands Out

• Comprehensive training — no prior insurance experience required
• Mentorship from senior attorneys and claims leaders
• Collaborative in-office culture that values learning and growth
• Competitive salary and a full benefits package
• A clear path to develop specialized expertise in a stable, respected industry
