As a Senior Associate, you will play a key role in the continued growth and success of the team, working closely with colleagues across the UK and internationally.

You will act for major insurers and insured professionals across a broad range of sectors, handling the full spectrum of professional indemnity matters—from policy coverage and advisory work through to complex, litigated negligence claims.

• Advising on and engaging in alternative dispute resolution, including mediation

To be considered for this opportunity, you will:
