Sr. Claims Counsel, Lawyers Professional Liability
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About the role? The posting starts: "Are you looking for your next opportunity? Sompo has a unique opportunity for a Sr. Claims Counsel, Lawyers Professional Liability in our North America Insurance Claims team." Then location info: "Location: This position will be based out of our New York, NY, Garden City, NY, Purchase, NY, Chicago, IL or Morristown, NJ office location." Then "We strive for collaboration which is why we offer a work environment where our employees thrive and develop long lasting careers." Then "Our Business, Your Impact, Our Opportunity" (maybe heading). Then "What you’ll be doing:" bullet list.
- Then "What You’ll Bring" bullet list.
- Then "Salary Range: $125,000 – $175,000." Then paragraph about compensation.
- Then "Summary We continuously evaluate and update our benefit programs..." then list of benefits.
- Then "Who We Are And What We Stand For" etc. That's more about company values, maybe not needed but could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be the initial description. But we need to decide which sections to include.
We must include sections only when there is real specific content. So we can have:
- Responsibilities (What you’ll be doing) -> list.
- Requirements / Qualifications (What You’ll Bring) -> list.
- Skills (maybe part of requirements) but we can combine.
- Pay (Salary Range) -> we have specific salary range, so include Pay section.
- Benefits -> we have detailed benefits list, so include Benefits section.
- Schedule? Not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit.
- About the role? Could include a brief paragraph summarizing role and location. That is substantive: "Sompo has a unique opportunity for a Sr. Claims Counsel, Lawyers Professional Liability in our North America Insurance Claims team. Location: This position will be based out of our New York, NY, Garden City, NY, Purchase, NY, Chicago, IL or Morristown, NJ office location. We strive for collaboration which is why we offer a work environment where our employees thrive and develop long lasting careers." That's about the role and location. Could be "About the role". We'll include that as a
.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't have heading "Sr. Claims Counsel, Lawyers Professional Liability". We'll just have sections.
We need to remove boilerplate: "Are you looking for your next opportunity?" maybe considered fluff but it's part of intro; we can keep as part of About the role paragraph? Might be considered generic but it's okay. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Are you looking for your next opportunity?" is not those, it's just a hook. Could keep.
We also need to remove duplicated lines: there may be none.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail.
Thus we need to include all bullet points from "What you’ll be doing:" and "What You’ll Bring". Also include salary range paragraph. Also include benefits list.
We need to format lists with
- . For each bullet.
We need to use
for section headings.
Thus output something like:
About the role
Sompo has a unique opportunity for a Sr. Claims Counsel, Lawyers Professional Liability in our North America Insurance Claims team. Location: This position will be based out of our New York, NY, Garden City, NY, Purchase, NY, Chicago, IL or Morristown, NJ office location. We strive for collaboration which is why we offer a work environment where our employees thrive and develop long lasting careers.
Responsibilities
- Manage a full caseload of Professional Liability claims, primarily Lawyers Professional Liability matters, and make substantive claim decisions.
- Review loss notices, claims documents, and policy language to determine coverage, liability, exposure, and appropriate reserves.
- Provide complex coverage, liability, and damages analysis for Lawyers Professional Liability claims and other lines of business as needed.
- Identify claim trends and emerging exposures, and report them accurately and timely to underwriting and management.
- Support underwriting and other internal teams through legal review, policy drafting, and cross-functional communication.
- Contribute to the Global Claims Team through collaboration on projects, industry engagement, complex claims support, and travel as needed.
Requirements
- Law degree required, with 3–7 years of progressively responsible experience in Lawyers Professional Liability claims handling or related litigation.
- Experience at both a law firm and an insurance carrier is preferred, along with pursuit of an insurance designation such as RPLU or CPCU.
- Proven experience handling complex, high-profile, high-exposure Lawyers Professional Liability claims, including evaluation, negotiation, and settlement.
- Meaningful legal review and policy drafting experience, with the ability to build strong working relationships across departments such as underwriting and actuarial.
- Strong negotiation, analytical, written, organizational, marketing, communication, mediation, and computer skills, including MS Office and claims systems such as Guidewire, Genius, and ImageRight.
We could also have a Skills section but it's already covered. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Skills into one "Qualifications" section. But we have separate "What You’ll Bring" which includes experience and skills. Could make a single "Qualifications" section with all bullet points. That would be fewer sections.
Thus we could have:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
...
Qualifications
...
(including law degree, experience, etc.)
Pay
Salary Range: $125,000 – $175,000. Actual compensation for this role will depend on several factors including the cost of living associated with your work location, your qualifications, skills, competencies, and relevant experience.
Benefits
list of benefits
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "At Sompo, we recognize that the talent, skills, and commitment of our employees drive our success..." That's generic but maybe still substantive? It's about compensation philosophy. Could be part of Pay section? But we already have Pay section with salary range and a note about actual compensation depending on factors. The paragraph after salary range includes that statement. We could include that as part of Pay section paragraph.
We need to avoid including boilerplate like "At Sompo, we recognize that the talent, skills, and commitment of our employees drive our success. This is why we offer competitive, high-quality compensation and benefit programs to eligible employees. Our compensation program is built on a foundation that promotes a pay-for-performance culture, resulting in higher incentive awards, on average, when the Company does well and lower incentive awards when the Company underperforms. The total compensation opportunity for all regular, full-time employees is a combination of base salary and incentives that gets adjusted upfront based on overall Company performance with final awards based on individual performance." This is somewhat generic but still about compensation. Could be included in Pay section as extra detail. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Including that may be okay but it's somewhat boilerplate. However it's not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning). It's more about compensation philosophy. Might be okay to keep.
But we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now Benefits: The posting includes a summary: "Summary We continuously evaluate and update our benefit programs to ensure that our plans remain competitive and meet the needs of our employees and their dependents. Below is a summary of our current comprehensive U.S. benefit programs:" then list.
We need to include that as Benefits section. Should we include the introductory sentence? Could be part of before list. But we can just put list under Benefits heading. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we could have a
for the summary sentence, then
- for each benefit.
Thus:
Benefits
We continuously evaluate and update our benefit programs to ensure that our plans remain competitive and meet the needs of our employees and their dependents. Below is a summary of our current comprehensive U.S. benefit programs:
- Two medical plans to choose from, including a Traditional PPO & a Consumer Driven Health Plan with a Health Savings account providing a competitive employer contribution
- Pharmacy benefits with mail order options
- Dental benefits including orthodontia benefits for adults and children
- Vision benefits
- Health Care & Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts
- Company-paid Life & AD&D benefits, including the option to purchase Supplemental life coverage for employee, spouse & children
- Company-paid Disability benefits with very competitive salary continuation payments
- 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan with competitive employer contributions
- Competitive paid-time-off programs, including company-paid holidays
- Competitive Parental Leave Benefits & Adoption Assistance program
- Employee Assistance Program
- Tax-Free Commuter Benefit
- Tuition Reimbursement & Professional Qualification benefits
We should not include the "Who We Are And What We Stand For" section as it's more about company values; could be considered boilerplate? Not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove, but it's generic. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not those. However we might consider it as not substantive to the role. But we could include as "About the company" but not required. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Including that would add another section. Might be better to omit to keep focused.
Thus final HTML fragment includes sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits.
Check that we didn't repeat job title as heading. Good.
Check that we didn't include Job ID/requisition numbers. None present.
Check that we didn't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Check that we preserved all substantive information: location, responsibilities, qualifications, salary range, benefits list, and the introductory sentences about Sompo and collaboration. Also we included the sentence about compensation depending on factors. Did we include the sentence about "At Sompo, we recognize that the talent, skills, and commitment of our employees drive our success..."
