Jobbeschreibung

This is a great opportunity for a Special Counsel to step into a key leadership role within a highly regarded insurance litigation practice. You'll take ownership of a significant client portfolio, work closely with respected Principals on complex matters, and play an influential role in the continued growth of the practice, while enjoying the autonomy to manage matters and build your own profile.

A key aspect of this opportunity is the responsibility that comes with it. You will be taking over as the primary point of contact for a major client, as the person currently in this role transitions to another position in the firm. This is also why the technical nature of this role is so varied, covering professional indemnity, public and product liability, building and construction and medical negligence.

Beyond managing your own practice, you'll work alongside experienced Principals who are invested in your success. You'll have the opportunity to mentor junior lawyers, contribute to the growth of the team and continue developing your leadership capability within a supportive and collaborative environment.

To be successful, you'll have at least 8 years' PAE with experience across multiple insurance lines, with strong technical ability, excellent communication skills and a commercial approach to client service. You'll enjoy taking ownership of matters, building trusted client relationships and mentoring more junior lawyers.

In return, you'll join a flexible and supportive firm that values high performance without compromising work-life balance. You'll benefit from hybrid working arrangements, ongoing professional development, genuine pathways for career progression, wellbeing initiatives and a collaborative culture where experienced lawyers are trusted, supported and recognised for the value they bring.
