Our client, a leading global provider of innovative property, casualty, and specialty insurance and reinsurance solutions, is seeking a seasoned legal professional to join their team as a Senior Legal Counsel. This is a unique opportunity to work closely with the underwriting teams, collaborating with claims functions, senior executives, and other internal/external stakeholders to provide in-house legal services that support various business lines and functions.

The successful candidate will be responsible for providing expert legal advice on contractual disputes, applying legal coverage interpretations to policy wordings, clauses, and endorsements. They will also act in a proactive advisory capacity to provide guidance, support, and training to underwriters to ensure that wordings accurately reflect the intention of the underwriter and provide clarity of policy response.

  • English qualified solicitor or barrister
  • A minimum of 8 years PQ experience with at least 4 years working in a (re)insurance environment - in-house legal counsel with a (Re)insurer or Captive or Lloyds Broker or in private practice but focused on the insurance sphere

  • Permanent contract
  • Annual bonus & benefits package
  • Hybrid working flexibility
