Associate / Senior Associate – D&O & Coverage | Leading Insurance Team Newcastle upon Tyne - International Firm
I’m currently working on an excellent opportunity for an Associate or Senior Associate to join a top-tier Professional & Commercial Risk team with a strong reputation in the insurance market.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a lawyer looking to undertake intellectually stimulating and high-quality work within a nationally recognised team that is consistently ranked Tier 1 in the legal directories.
The successful candidate will play a key role in a specialist team advising leading insurers on Directors’ & Officers’ (D&O) insurance matters, alongside broader financial lines coverage work.
The role will involve:
* Advising insurers on complex D&O and management liability coverage matters
* Defending claims against directors, officers and insured companies
* Advising on coverage issues across a range of financial lines policies, including Crime and Financial Institutions insurance
* Working closely with specialists across employment, regulatory and white collar crime teams
* Building and maintaining strong insurer client relationships
* Contributing to the continued growth and success of the wider team
The ideal candidate will:
* Be 3+ years PQE
* Have experience advising on insurance coverage matters, ideally within financial lines / D&O policies
* Ideally have trained or worked within a specialist insurance practice or insurer environment
* Be commercially minded with strong analytical skills
* Be confident managing client relationships and handling complex matters
* Enjoy working collaboratively as part of an ambitious and high-performing team
Experience undertaking secondments with financial lines insurers would be advantageous but is not essential.
This opportunity offers:
* High-quality and intellectually challenging work
* Exposure to leading insurer clients
* Strong progression opportunities
* Genuine flexibility and hybrid working
* A collaborative and supportive culture within a highly regarded national team
