Do you enjoy collaborating closely with the business rather than practicing law from the sidelines? As our Corporate Counsel (P&C), you'll support our evolving insurance businesses and work directly with the people making day-to-day decisions. The work ranges from high-volume contracts such as NDAs to more nuanced carrier, MGA/MGU and regulatory matters. You'll have room to take ownership, develop relationships and become a trusted legal resource for the businesses you support.
This role is a strong fit for an attorney who understands how the P&C insurance business operates and can turn legal analysis into practical guidance. Experience working with insurance carriers, MGAs/MGUs, brokers or related insurance businesses is especially valuable. Prior business-side insurance experience is also welcome.
What You'll Do:
- Draft, review and negotiate carrier agreements, MGA/MGU and program administrator agreements, client service agreements, NDAs and other commercial contracts.
- Advise business teams on P&C insurance operations, regulatory matters, risk management and contract issues.
- Review carrier and client agreements, identify meaningful legal and business risks, and recommend practical solutions.
- Support MGA/MGU operations and carrier relationships as business needs and regulatory requirements evolve.
