What We're Looking For

• Qualified solicitor with 1-8 years' PQE in marine, energy, or insurance law
• Experience with coverage disputes, liability claims, and policy wordings
• Solid understanding of offshore energy risks and renewables is highly desirable
• A strong commercial mindset and the ability to work closely with insurer clients
• Excellent drafting, analytical and communication skills
• Ability to manage your own caseload and contribute to business development
