Financial Lines Claims Counsel

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes Company Overview, Summary, Essential Functions, Education And Experience, Other Qualifications And Skills, SALARY, Additional Benefits, Additional Benefit Programs, etc. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings. The instructions: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those exact headings? Probably yes. We need to decide which sections apply. We have: - Company Overview: could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe summary of role. Could use "About the role" for summary. - Summary: maybe also part of About the role. - Essential Functions: that is Responsibilities. - Education And Experience: that is Requirements/Qualifications. - Other Qualifications And Skills: that is Skills. - SALARY: Pay. - Additional Benefits and Additional Benefit Programs: Benefits. - Schedule: not present, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: EEO statement, etc. Also remove "It's an exciting time..." maybe not boilerplate but could be considered fluff but it's substantive? It's a motivational statement; maybe keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The EEO statement is boilerplate; remove it. The "It's an exciting time..." maybe not boilerplate but could be considered fluff; but it's not duplicated. Might keep as part of About the role? Might be okay to keep as prose. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:

About the role

Company Overview ... Summary ...

But we need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract relevant paragraphs. Company Overview: "MSIG USA continues to grow!

The role focuses primarily on Directors & Officers (D&O), Financial Institutions Professional Liability (E&O), Employment Practices Liability (EPL), Fiduciary, and Fidelity claims, including complex litigation, class actions, securities matters, and high-severity financial loss exposures.
