Job description

Your new company

This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading national law firm with a highly regarded insurance and professional indemnity practice. The firm is recognised for handling complex, high-value disputes on behalf of insurers and professional service providers across a range of sectors. With a strong reputation for career development, collaboration and technical excellence, the team offers high-quality work alongside genuine progression opportunities.


Your new role

You will join a specialist Professional Indemnity team, managing a varied caseload of complex and high-value claims on behalf of insurer clients. The work is predominantly defendant-focused and will involve advising on professional negligence and coverage matters across a broad range of professions.
Responsibilities will include:

  • Managing your own caseload of professional indemnity matters with minimal supervision.
  • Defending claims against construction professionals, including architects and engineers.
  • Acting on claims against solicitors and other professional service providers.
  • Advising insurers and insured clients on liability, coverage and reserves.
  • Assisting partners on large-scale and technically complex litigation.
  • Drafting reports, pleadings, correspondence and court documentation.
  • Liaising with clients, counsel, experts, witnesses and other stakeholders.
  • Supporting business development initiatives and client relationship management.
  • Supervising and mentoring junior lawyers, trainees and paralegals



What you'll need to succeed

  • Qualified Solicitor with a minimum of 5 years' PQE.
  • Strong professional indemnity experience, ideally involving construction professionals and/or solicitor negligence claims.
  • Experience handling insurance litigation and policy coverage matters.
  • Knowledge of professional risk claims, reserving and claims management processes.
  • Commercial understanding of the insurance market, including insurers, brokers and underwriters.
  • Excellent analytical, drafting and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to manage deadlines, prioritise workloads and deliver excellent client service.
  • A proactive, commercial and solutions-focused approach to litigation.
  • Previous experience working directly with an insurer would be advantageous.



What you'll get in return

  • Exposure to high-quality, complex professional indemnity work.
  • Hybrid and flexible working arrangements.
  • Clear career progression opportunities within a nationally recognised team.
  • Ongoing technical training and professional development.
  • Supportive and collaborative working environment.
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
