Join Our Team as a Commercial Liability Adjuster

 

Are you a licensed attorney looking to leverage your legal training outside of a traditional law‑firm environment? Do you enjoy analyzing complex fact patterns, evaluating liability, and driving strategic outcomes? If so, this role offers the opportunity to apply your JD and litigation mindset in a collaborative, fast‑paced claims environment.

 

As a Commercial Liability Adjuster, you’ll manage Commercial General Liability (CGL) claims—many in active litigation—working closely with defense counsel and internal partners to deliver fair, timely, and well‑reasoned resolutions.

Investigate with Precision

  • Conduct thorough loss investigations and identify coverage and liability issues
  • Evaluate facts, policy language, and legal exposure to support sound claim decisions

Analyze & Strategize

  • Review pleadings, evidence, reports, and medical records to assess damages and set appropriate reserves
  • Develop litigation and resolution strategies in partnership with defense counsel

Drive Resolution

  • Negotiate settlements within authority and process payments accurately and efficiently
  • Balance legal risk, financial exposure, and business objectives

Build Strong Cases

  • Interview insureds, claimants, and witnesses to gather critical information
  • Draft and document clear, defensible claim file narratives and coverage positions

Partner with Legal Experts

  • Collaborate with attorneys throughout the litigation lifecycle, including mediations and pre‑trial strategy
  • Ensure claims are handled in compliance with regulatory and company standards
Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

  • Education: Juris Doctor (JD) required
  • Claims Experience: Proven experience handling Commercial General Liability (CGL) claims, including litigation
  • Licensing: Active TX All Lines Adjuster License, or willingness to obtain (company‑sponsored)
  • Legal & Analytical Skills: Strong ability to analyze liability, coverage, and litigation exposure
  • Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex issues clearly
  • Organization & Judgment: Strong organizational, computer, and time‑management skills with sound decision‑making ability

 

Why This Role?

This position is ideal for attorneys who enjoy strategy, analysis, and collaboration and want a long‑term career path that offers stability, professional growth, and exposure to complex commercial matters—without the demands of billable hours.

 

Salary $100,000 - $160,000 

 

In accordance with applicable pay transparency laws, this range represents a good‐faith estimate. Final compensation will be determined based on factors such as experience, credentials, geographic location, and other considerations permitted by law.

 

This role may be based out of any of our office locations, including:
