• Support regulatory compliance initiatives across Pie’s multi‑state insurance holding company structure as needed.
• Assist with additional legal matters and special projects as the legal team’s needs evolve.
• Assist with creating, updating, and maintaining company policies (ex. website terms of service, workers comp policy terms and conditions, etc.)
