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!
