Responsibilities include:
* Advising all stakeholder levels on legal matters and driving group strategy.

* Collaborating with underwriting, finance, tax, and claims teams.
* Drafting various agreements and managing regulatory challenges.
* Maintaining legal records and registers.
* Supporting broker activities, conducting legal research, and advising on regulatory issues like FCA and other financial regulators.
* Negotiating commercial contracts and advising on corporate and strategic matters.
* Drafting policies, managing documentation, and overseeing litigation processes.
* Managing risks related to County Court decisions and liaising with courts.
* Supporting the Group General Counsel and mentoring junior staff.
Experience, knowledge & skills:
* Qualified Lawyer (Solicitor or Barrister) in England & Wales or equivalent.
* Approximately 5+ years PQE, with in-house and/or private practice experience.
* Strong background in insurance, financial services, or regulated environments.
* Proficient in negotiating commercial outsourcing contracts.
* Excellent communication, research, and organizational skills.
* Commercial awareness and risk management skills.
* Experience mentoring or managing junior legal professionals.
Behaviours:
* Detail-oriented, organized, and proactive.
* Positive, flexible, and approachable.
* Capable of presenting complex information clearly.
* Driven to improve processes and support growth.
* Discreet, professional, and confidentiality-conscious.
* Growth mindset with a passion for continuous learning.
