Commercial Insurance Solicitor / Associate - City of London
Are you looking for a role where you will be intellectually challenged in an environment where you can enjoy industry-leading work quality without compromising on client contact and business development? If so, this could be the perfect new job….
The Firm
Leading global legal business firm whose broad commercial base boasts a strong heritage in insurance, health and real estate. This is complemented by a fast-growing business advisory capability. The firm acts for all of the UK's top-ten insurers and are considered market leaders in the provision of strategic, commercial and regulatory advice to providers and commissioners in the health sector and real estate.
The Team
The Professional and Financial lines team works across insurance and reinsurance for a wide variety of sectors. The work is both challenging and interesting.
The teams works closely with a number of other departments such as Cyber, Corporate, Commercial and Regulatory teams both domestically and internationally. The work involves both contentious and dispute resolution elements.
The Role
As part of the team, you will advise clients and other departments on silent cyber projects, drafting market clauses, advising on ransomware attacks, new reinsurance contracts, Covid 19 endorsements and systemic risk reviews.
As part of the team you will:
· Have the opportunity to advise clients directly on drafting insurance and reinsurance wordings across all business types. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate closely with the award-winning Cyber team to draft wordings in this rapidly growing area;
· Advise clients on current market issues, such as Covid exclusions, and Brexit, at the forefront of the latest industry challenges;
· Provide solutions for international insurance and reinsurance programmes, developing your own client networks and relationships to the benefit of both you and the firm;
· Have the opportunity to manage your own litigation caseload and/or support colleagues on larger complex cases, increasing your exposure to different ways of working;
· Devise technically sound, commercial strategies for complex cases.
The Candidate
Due to the mixed nature of the role this opportunity can be tailored to the individual, with emphasis in either the contentious or non-contentious aspect as per your experience and preference. Some experience in wordings or coverage, in a contentious or non-contentious context, is essential, but full training will be provided to allow you to fulfil both aspects of the role if your existing experience is primarily focused on one area.
The firm is open minded about the qualification level of the candidates they see: They are most interested in what you think you can bring to the role and the team, and whether they are the right fit for you.
Benefits
- Highly competitive salary structure
- Attractive benefits package
- Broad range of quality work
- Fantastic potential for career progression
