London, Greater London, United Kingdom Horwich Farrelly Full time
Role Overview

At Horwich Farrelly, we pride ourselves on our unique approach. We value our employees as our greatest asset, setting us apart in the legal sector. We are currently seeking an Associate to join our Insurance and Property Litigation Department in London.

The Team

Our London office is comprised of dedicated legal professionals who foster a collaborative and supportive atmosphere. We emphasize the importance of making a meaningful impact by delivering exceptional, results-oriented services to our clients.

We cultivate a strong team spirit and encourage participation in various initiatives focused on personal growth and well-being, beyond just our legal work. Opportunities include involvement in the engagement committee, attending client events, and participating in charitable activities.

Qualifications Required

The ideal candidate will possess a minimum of 3 years of post-qualification experience (PQE) in a similar capacity, managing a diverse caseload of insurance litigation matters. While experience in the insurance sector is advantageous, it is not a prerequisite.

We seek a committed individual capable of mentoring and guiding junior team members, leveraging your expertise to provide top-tier advice. You will be responsible for meeting deadlines and overseeing the entire lifecycle of claims, including the review and drafting of documents on behalf of a Partner.

Collaborating with senior solicitors, you will assist our Partner in advancing litigated cases to resolution, taking into account coverage issues, liability, quantum, and strategic considerations.

This position is ideal for those looking to elevate their career from a Junior Solicitor to an Associate role or for those already functioning at that level. You will be a respected role model within Horwich Farrelly, known for your exemplary performance and contributions to your field.

Key Responsibilities

You will manage a caseload of insurance litigation files, which may include aspects of commercial litigation, professional indemnity, and property coverage, utilizing our case management system. Your role will involve assessing files for liability, quantum, coverage, and strategy, while engaging with insurer clients and their customers throughout the process.

You will work closely with a highly regarded Partner in the industry.

Benefits

This role presents a genuine opportunity for professional growth within a successful legal career. We are committed to developing our employees and offer numerous pathways for advancement, ensuring a fulfilling and prosperous career at Horwich Farrelly.

We are not a conventional corporate law firm. We promote flexible working arrangements and maintain a relaxed dress code, allowing you to express your individuality at work. Our hybrid working model and flexible hours are available to all employees.

We prioritize investing in our team members and promoting from within. This includes covering professional subscriptions and providing learning and development grants for further education.

We consistently recognize and reward our employees for their contributions. Here are some of the benefits available to our team:

  • 25 days of annual leave (plus public holidays), increasing to 30 days with tenure
  • Private healthcare coverage
  • Company pension plan
  • Enhanced parental leave
  • Cycle to Work initiative
