Commercial General Liability Specialist (primarily New York venues)
About The Position
The Commercial General Liability Specialist will investigate, evaluate, negotiate, and resolve primarily non-litigated New York commercial general liability claims of moderate complexity.

The position also involves managing the defense of more complex regional commercial general liability claims across multiple jurisdictions, attending mediations, trials, and hearings as needed, and interacting with insureds, agents, and legal representatives.
