Responsibilities
  • Issue coverage opinions and analyze liability and damages with respect to underlying EPL claims;
  • Identify coverage issues and defenses and provide coverage advice and recommendations to clients;
  • Monitor EPL claims in various stages from inception through resolution, including complex litigation in courts worldwide;
  • Work with policyholders and defense counsel concerning claim resolution strategy and participate in settlement negotiations, mediations and arbitration of claims;
  • Work cooperatively with others; and
  • Interact with clients, brokers, policyholders and defense counsel on a daily basis.

  • Excellent organizational and time management skills; and
  • Ability to identify and resolve problems quickly.

The firm also offers comprehensive health and well-being benefits, personal and professional development, career growth opportunities and a collegial and supportive culture. The anticipated pay range for this role is $100,000 - $130,000, which represents our good faith and reasonable estimate of the starting salary range at the time of posting. In addition, this role is eligible for a discretionary bonus based on performance.
