Claims Lawyer

6 months ago


Glasgow, United Kingdom Addleshaw Goddard Full time

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
- Due to continued growth and increasing levels of high-value and complex work, the Firm has identified a need to increase the size of the C&C Team.
- This is a newly created role for a Claims Lawyer who will sit within the Claims & Complaints Team (part of the Firm's Office of the General Counsel function), reporting to the Head of Professional Indemnity, and will be responsible for picking up and running with claims, complaints, insurance queries and a range of other requests which are notified to the team.
- This opportunity would suit someone from a professional indemnity or contentious fee-earning background who is looking to develop their career in a well-established and collegiate team where there is a lot of scope to 'own' your own workload, handle a wide range of queries and contribute to projects within the immediate team and the wider OGC.

THE TEAM
- The OGC team comprises over 35 lawyers and other team members. It acts as the internal legal function of the Firm, overseeing regulatory compliance in the jurisdictions in which the Firm operates and supporting the Firm in managing legal risk in the work it undertakes.
- The OGC team, along with the rest of the Firm, has embedded a flexible and agile culture. Our working flexibly policy makes agile working accessible to all, whilst always balancing an individual's needs with the requirements of the team, the Firm and its clients.
- The C&C Team within the OGC is made up of the Head of Professional Indemnity, one Senior Lawyer, two Lawyers and one Paralegal. The team is mostly based in the Firm's London office with one Paralegal based in Manchester.
- When issues arise, C&C Team members support often anxious internal clients, ask questions to establish what has happened, identify legal, reputational, and commercial issues, and advise on next steps. Team members also draft pre-Action correspondence, and, if an issue is sufficiently complex, liaise with the Head of PI, the Claims & Complaints Partner, other internal stakeholders and external brokers and advisers as needed.
- At AG, the contribution the OGC team makes to the success of the Firm is appreciated and we are visible to and work regularly with senior members of the Firm. We deliver training to and conduct discussions with fee earners and business support team members at all levels to help the Firm be as successful as possible whilst effectively managing risk.
