We are seeking an experienced insurance product drafting attorney to support the development, drafting, and maintenance of Property & Casualty insurance products, with a primary focus on Casualty lines and ancillary support for Property products.

In this role, you will work closely with underwriting, state filings, actuarial, claims, and regulatory and compliance teams to draft, review, and enhance policy forms, endorsements, and related product documentation. The ideal candidate must have hands-on experience drafting P&C insurance products, particularly casualty forms, and a strong understanding of the legal, regulatory, and market considerations that impact P&C product development.

This is a non-managerial, individual contributor role focused on technical drafting, product support, and collaboration across the product lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Policy Drafting & Review:
  Draft, review, and revise Property & Casualty insurance policies, endorsements, and related forms, with a primary emphasis on Casualty lines (i.e., General Liability, Excess/Umbrella, and related casualty coverages) and periodic support for Property products, ensuring clarity, internal consistency, and alignment with underwriting intent.
• P&C Product Development:
  Partner with underwriting to develop new casualty products and coverage enhancements, and to update existing forms in response to market developments, claims experience, and legal or regulatory changes; provide supplemental drafting support for property products as needed.
• Regulatory & Compliance Support:
  Support the product filing process by working with compliance and regulatory teams to prepare, revise, and respond to form-related filings, objections, and inquiries across casualty and property lines.
• Competitive & Market Analysis:
  Review and analyze competitor policy language and industry trends within the P&C market to identify opportunities for product enhancement, differentiation, and risk management, with a focus on casualty coverage evolution.
• Coverage Guidance & Training:
  Provide technical guidance to underwriting and claims teams regarding policy language, coverage intent, and application of casualty and property forms; assist with internal training related to form changes and new product rollouts.
• Stakeholder Collaboration:
  Collaborate cross-functionally with underwriting, state filings, actuarial, claims, and regulatory and compliance stakeholders to support products throughout the lifecycle—from concept and drafting through filing, implementation, and ongoing maintenance.
• Continuous Improvement:
  Contribute to ongoing refinement of drafting standards, templates, and internal processes to promote consistency, efficiency, and technical excellence in P&C product development, particularly within casualty lines.

Qualifications

• Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited law school.
• 3–5 years of experience specifically in insurance product drafting and development.
• Hands-on experience drafting and revising P&C policy forms and endorsements, with a primary focus on Casualty lines; experience supporting Property products is a plus.
• Strong technical drafting, analytical, and issue-spotting skills
• Ability to translate underwriting intent and risk considerations into clear, effective policy language.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional business partners.
• Highly detail-oriented with strong organizational and project management skills.
• Active membership in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting admitted and/or non-admitted (E&S) P&C products.
• Familiarity with casualty and property form filing processes, state insurance regulatory requirements, and responding to DOI objections.
• Experience reviewing claims trends or coverage disputes to inform casualty form language improvements.
• Comfort working independently in a pure individual contributor role with responsibility for assigned product areas.
