This major insurance intermediary has had significant recent investment both in terms of capital and staff and is now focused on getting into a position to using this new capital to make significant acquisitions in 2017/18. It's small legal team is headed by a heavyweight General Counsel who has dramatically overhauled the way Legal interfaces with the business in the direction of a far more commercial, advisory and front-line function.
The General Counsel is now hiring into several key positions. This role involves becoming a Senior Legal Counsel within a Commercial Contracts team which works extremely closely with their brokerage and Managing General Agency businesses, covering insurance distribution, affinity partnerships, underwriting arrangements, TOBAs, binders and other insurance related commercial contracts as well as general commercial contracts across supply, technology, outsourcing, marketing and other areas.
Working closely with the business as a key adviser, you will be involved in the evolution of the new model for legal coverage and will act in an advisory capacity from very early stages of transactions and contracts.
A unique opportunity suitable for a commercial contracts lawyer with 5-9 years' PQE seeking an autonomous role at the front-line of a large business without the siloing or erosion of autonomy involved in joining a larger Legal Department. You will have broad based experience. Exposure to insurance driven contracts is desirable but not essential as is global data privacy or international outsourcing experience.
