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

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.
