The national Property Risks & Coverage team at Keoghs deals with some of the highest profile commercial insurance disputes in the country.

The Keoghs’ PRC team has a one team ethos where cross office working and taking the lead in the files is encouraged alongside supportive and encouraging supervision. Team members regularly become involved in sales, BD and marketing activities and so if you want to enhance your own market profile alongside the Keoghs team this is the role for you.
