From day one, our mission has been to create an independent business with a unique culture - one that is controlled by the people who work for it. Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people has always been key to our success.
People come to Howden for lots of different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. That’s what sets us apart, and why we nurture and retain the best talent in the market. Whatever your priorities - work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering - you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.
Howden Tax & Contingent Risks (T&CR) is looking to support the growth of its Contingent Risks team with the hire of an experienced individual.
T&CR is a specialist division of Howden CAP (Capital, Advisory and Placement) within the Howden Broking Group, meeting growing client demand for capital and insurance solutions that support their growth, optimise their capital and help achieve their strategic goals.
The team combines in-depth understanding of specialist insurance markets with tax, litigation and structuring expertise from top tier law firms, investment banks and Big 4 to advise on the structuring and negotiation of innovative specific risk insurance and capital solutions. T&CR currently consists of 17 colleagues across the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Poland and Spain.
The team was originally formed to advise on tax and litigation risks arising in the context of M&A deals but, given the evolution of the tax and contingent risk insurance market, has seen a considerable increase in demand for non-M&A solutions to optimise the capital and liquidity positions of our clients and/or ring-fence non-transactional risks.
This includes new to market insurance solutions in areas including corporate tax credit offerings for ESG initiatives, tax litigation solutions, capital and funding solutions for insured contingent tax/legal assets and collateral protection insurance on IP and other non-traditional asset backed lending, as well as expansion into new jurisdictions and new sectors including financial institutions and hedge funds.
Contingent Risk is one of three pillars within T&CR, the other two being M&A Tax and New Initiatives. Contingent Risk’s core focus is insurance in respect of and transactions driven by legal risk including matters in litigation. The team has a flexible remit and is involved with product development with the New Initiatives pillar.
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated individual to play a key role in establishing and growing the Contingent Risks and wider T&CR business.
