Description
We are looking for Graduates that are keen to start their professional career with an innovative Insurance business that loves to challenge the status quo. Due to continued growth we have a new opportunity for an Underwriting Assistant to join our Intellectual Property team.
CFC has one of the largest dedicated IP insurance underwriting teams in London and provide a unique intellectual property offering for a whole host of new inventions. The team is made up of expert IP underwriters and backed by a panel of specialist claims adjusters and risk management partners. For many businesses, much of their value lies in what makes them unique. That's why we believe it's vitally important to protect the patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property that makes a business competitive and successful. Our IP policy covers the defence of intellectual property infringement claims, contractual indemnities, loss of IP rights and loss of profit - which can be catastrophic for any business.
You'll develop a thorough understanding of CFC's workflow processes and systems as well gaining exposure to insurance. A role as an underwriting assistant provides a great foundation for a career at CFC, with a number of our underwriters and underwriting team leaders starting their careers here
