This is an opportunity for an established solicitor with a strong reputation in the market, deep technical expertise and a proven ability to build trusted client relationships. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to play a significant role in the continued growth of the practice, working with sophisticated domestic and international clients on complex, high-value and often high-profile matters.

The role

The successful candidate will work closely with the Head of the Practice and take a leading role in advising clients on complex disputes and contentious insurance matters, while contributing to the strategic direction and commercial success of the practice. There is an opportunity for the right person who does well to progress to equity in the future.

• High-value claims involving construction, property, marine, energy or other specialist risks.
• Mediation, arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

The Partner will have the opportunity to work on significant matters, strengthen existing client relationships and develop new business across relevant sectors and markets.

You

• You will have a proven and extensive experience in the area of insurance defence work. This role ideally suits an established Partner, but the firm will consider candidates with significant experience who are operating at a senior level, like of counsel, to come forward also.
