About Rachel Harris
As a Claims Specialist (Professional Lines - EPL) I apply my Juris Doctor degree and my background in employment law and alternative dispute resolution to manage and resolve complex and sensitive employment related claims. I have over two years of experience in this role, where I interpret policy provisions, negotiate claim settlements, review mediation statements, conduct case assessments, and assess liability.I am passionate about helping employers and employees reach fair and effective solutions to their employment disputes, while minimizing litigation costs and risks. I have strong analytical, communication, and negotiation skills, as well as a keen understanding of the legal and regulatory landscape of employment law. I also have a diverse and interdisciplinary background in advertising, non-profit work, and media, which gives me a broader perspective and an appreciation for different cultures and viewpoints.
