This role is unique in that you will have exposure to both insurance litigation and general commercial disputes. The Firm: Sitting within the Commercial Litigation group, this is a rare chance for an insurance litigation lawyer, with existing coverage or policyholder experience, to diversify their experience into other areas including fraud and financial services litigation, cyber and tech disputes and general commercial litigation. Our client has a well-balanced Commercial Litigation practice, with a number of their partners joining from larger international or US law firms in search of a more sustainable work/life balance. They are highly ranked by Legal 500 and have a track record of organic growth from within, including a market-leading partnership track programme. The Role: The role will primarily focus on disputes for insurance policyholders and therefore experience of either policyholder disputes or coverage claims is beneficial, although candidates with all insurance disputes backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The breadth of your caseload will be extremely broad, ranging from political risk and cyber claims through to cross-border group actions and international arbitrations. This is a chance to join a practice that is in growth mode, with significant investment behind that growth. You will join a team highly-ranked by Legal 500 for Insurance Litigation and the role will ideally suit someone looking for a transparent path for career progression, no matter the level. In particular, for more senior candidates, the role will suit a 'go-getter' who is keen to join a firm that will support you to grow your own client following. Our client offers an excellent work/life balance with low billable target hours, and a competitive remuneration model (up to 40% bonus).
