Department: Professional and Commercial Risk
Employment Type: Permanent
Location: Leeds
Description Are you looking for a role offering intellectual challenge, client-focus and industry-leading quality, without compromising on genuine flexibility? An opportunity in our Professional and Commercial Risk team may be for you. We are looking to recruit a Senior Associate to work within our highly regarded Construction Professional Indemnity Team. The Team is thriving and we are seeking to expand rapidly both to service existing work-loads and to exploit new sources of work. The candidate will play an active role in the continued growth and success of the team, in collaboration with our wider practice nationally and internationally. Our team acts for all of the top 20 UK and global insurers, both working on joint defence retainers with Insured professionals such as architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, contract administrators, project managers, M&E engineers, contractors and subcontractors and advising Insurers directly on policy coverage issues. Construction disputes are very buoyant at present and the Team is working on some of the most interesting and complex disputes in the market. We encourage all team members to build their own client relationships and given the state of the construction disputes market, there are excellent opportunities for the successful candidate to progress their career. The successful candidate would ideally be based within reach of one of our regional offices in Bristol, Manchester, Leeds or Newcastle but would be working collaboratively as part of a national team. Our Flex Forward policy means that we've been at the forefront of hybrid working since before covid and we can offer genuine flexibility to the successful candidate and we would encourage you to talk to us about our approach to flexible working during the hiring process if you would like to explore this further.

- Direct engagement with experts and Counsel, directing our work with both.
