About the Opportunity

Yegal is partnering with a leading insurance and financial services organisation to offer law students and graduates a unique paid placement as Claims Consultants.

This role is ideal for students close to graduation or recent graduates who want to add corporate office experience to their CV. A claims role is also a strong alternative to unpaid volunteer legal work, as it provides practical experience in liability, dispute resolution, and stakeholder management while working in a skilled commercial environment.

Claims roles often serve as a bridge between university studies and longer-term opportunities in private practice or in-house legal teams.

Your Responsibilities

- Manage a portfolio of insurance claims from lodgement through to resolution.

- Act as an advocate for clients throughout the claims process, ensuring professional and empathetic customer service.

- Interpret and apply policy wordings, terms, conditions, and exclusions.

- Ensure compliance with relevant statutory guidelines and company service standards.

- Escalate and collaborate with senior staff on complex matters, with referrals made to external law firms where required.

- Liaise with a wide range of stakeholders, including service providers, insurers,



and legal professionals.

- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and maintain accurate claim records.

What You’ll Gain

- Paid corporate experience directly relevant to insurance law, liability, and dispute resolution.

- Opportunities to apply and develop legal problem-solving, negotiation, and advocacy skills.

- Exposure to commercial practice, client service, and regulatory compliance.

- A hybrid work model, combining Sydney CBD office time with the flexibility to work from home.

- An excellent stepping-stone for those considering future careers in litigation, insurance law, or commercial practice.

Candidate Profile

We are seeking applications from:
- Current law students (ideally penultimate or final year) or recent graduates.

- Strong communicators, both written and verbal, with high attention to detail.

- Candidates with excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.

- Individuals with prior customer service or corporate experience (desirable but not essential).

- An interest in insurance, litigation, or dispute resolution will be highly regarded.

Availability

- Full-time availability from December 2025 to February 2026 is strongly preferred
- - Please ensure you are available for the full contract period (excl Public Holidays).
