Contract role – 4 to 5 PQE

A major insurer is seeking interim legal support due to a five-month paternity leave within the team. This is a technical, niche role suited to someone with strong commercial judgement and the ability to identify risk early.

Focus of the role

• Supporting and triaging US-related work within the claims and underwriting function
• Managing incoming risks and reviewing NDAs
• Providing advisory guidance across:
  • Property
  • Casualty
  • E&O
  • PI
  • D&O
  • General in house governance responsibilities

What they’re looking for

• Exposure to US jurisdictions and risks is essential
• US qualification beneficial but not essential
• Ability to recognise when matters need escalating
• Understanding of litigation processes
• Ideally someone who’s worked on contentious matters or spent time inside a courthouse
• 3 days per week up to full time considered
