Entry Level Claims Counsel Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level claims counsel job?
Start by targeting employers who explicitly welcome new graduates or list zero to two years of experience as acceptable. A law degree or paralegal background helps, but internship experience in insurance defense, liability, or claims handling gives you a real edge. Tailor your application to show familiarity with claims investigation, coverage analysis, or litigation support, and highlight any relevant coursework or clinical work if your direct experience is limited.
Which companies hire entry level claims counsels?
Companies hiring entry level claims counsels right now include Liberty Mutual Insurance, The Cincinnati Insurance Companies, and AIG, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and self-insured corporations building out their in-house legal and claims teams.
Are there remote entry level claims counsel jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles still favor on-site or hybrid arrangements. About 70% of entry level claims counsel openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates who need flexibility have real options even at the junior level. Filtering by work setting when you search helps you find the right fit faster.
Are these new grad claims counsel jobs?
Yes, many of the roles listed here are new grad friendly, meaning they welcome recent graduates, junior candidates, and applicants with little or no prior experience in the field. A new grad posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or law school clinics toward that threshold, and may value a strong academic background or a focused portfolio of claims or legal work over a lengthy resume.
Which industries hire the most entry level claims counsels?
Entry Level claims counsel roles concentrate in Insurance, Technology & Software, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive consistent hiring at the junior level because high claim volumes and regulatory requirements create ongoing demand for trained legal professionals who can step in and handle cases under supervision.
