- Law degree from an ABA-accredited law school with excellent academic credentials
- Active license to practice law in at least one state and membership in good standing with the state bar
- Ability to obtain a limited license to practice in Illinois if not already licensed there
- Preferred: Attorney with 5+ years of property & casualty coverage and litigation experience; however, outstanding candidates with other coverage experience will be considered
- Commitment to delivering high-quality legal advice, demonstrating learning agility, and actively participating in a collaborative, team-oriented environment
- Forward-thinking mindset with the ability to anticipate client needs, respond effectively, and provide proactive legal counseling
- Strong analytical skills, combined with clear and concise written and verbal communication abilities for interactions with internal business units and outside counsel
- Proficiency in reading, interpreting, and advising on policy language, insurance statutes, regulations, bulletins, and related case law
- Ability to apply the law to claim facts and offer effective legal counsel
- Proven record of professionalism, civility, and ethical conduct, with adherence to all applicable laws, regulations, and codes of conduct
- Must be authorized to work lawfully in the U.S. immediately; employer will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work authorization
