The Team
Our leading Professional and Financial Risks Team advises insurers and professional organisations when they are faced with the threat of a professional negligence claim. They act on numerous high value and sensitive claims for clients throughout the UK and the rest of Europe, including accountants, architects, brokers, engineers, lawyers and their insurers. The team is particularly experienced in the deployment of alternative dispute resolution techniques, including mediation and arbitration.
The team is recognised for its defendant indemnity work, a number of team members are recognised leaders in this area.
The Role
This role will be weighted towards dealing with claims against solicitors but there will be opportunities to gain experience of dealing with claims against other professions.
You will exercise full compliance with Beachcroft protocols on billing and credit control and demonstrate a high level of financial management in respect of own files, whilst supporting marketing and business development activity within the team.
Within this role you will build an awareness of the Firm's other services as well as building effective networks. You will maintain an awareness of the firm's strategies and plans and develop technical knowledge through attendance at training sessions, reading appropriate publications and exceeding Law Society CPD requirements.
The Person
In order to succeed within this role you will have an ability to adopt a commercial perspective rather than an ‘academic' approach to legal issues. You will be change oriented with a positive, flexible approach towards the implementation of new initiatives.
It is important to have a team oriented approach with a willingness to share knowledge as well as support other members of the team as and when required.
Beachcroft is an equal opportunities employer and we welcome applications from every sector of the community. We also welcome direct applications. If this opportunity sounds of interest to you, please send your CV to us. Your application will be dealt with in the strictest of confidence.
