The successful candidate will be involved in a dynamic and growing team that deals with high-value and complex claims across the construction industry.

The Construction Insurance team represents a diverse client base, including the majority of Professional Indemnity insurers, as well as many of the UK's largest contractors and consultancies. The team handles a variety of claims involving construction-related professionals such as engineers, architects, quantity surveyors, and project managers. The role focuses on defending liability claims pre- and post-litigation, as well as advising on associated issues like adjudication, arbitration, and policy coverage for insurers.

  • Attending and organizing client events as required.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will have the following:

  • NQ+ PQE or equivalent expertise in construction litigation. Insurance experience is desirable but not essential.
  • Ability to deliver practical, commercial legal solutions while building strong client relationships.
  • Commitment to business development, identifying growth opportunities for the practice.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills, with a keen eye for detail.
  • Collaborative approach and willingness to mentor junior team members.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office.
  • Adaptability, initiative, and problem-solving abilities.
