London | Hybrid (2 Days in Office) | £85,000 - £120,000 + Bonus

A highly regarded, Legal 500 ranked, specialist insurance litigation boutique in the City is looking to expand its Professional Indemnity team following continued growth.

The firm has established itself as a recognised name in the market, acting for leading insurer clients on complex and high-value professional indemnity claims. The team offers the quality of work typically associated with larger international firms, combined with the responsibility, autonomy and progression opportunities that come with working in a growing specialist practice.

The firm is primarily seeking an experienced Senior Associate (8+ PQE) but would also be keen to hear from strong Associate-level lawyers (3+ PQE) looking to develop within a specialist professional indemnity practice.

The Role

You'll work on a broad range of defendant professional indemnity matters, with a particular focus on claims involving solicitors, alongside wider financial lines, regulatory and commercial litigation work.

This is a genuinely hands-on role where you'll have significant responsibility, direct client exposure and the opportunity to work closely with partners from day one.

For more senior candidates, there is a clear opportunity to supervise junior lawyers and establish yourself as a future leader within the team.

• Experience defending claims against solicitors would be advantageous, although other professional indemnity backgrounds will be considered

• Hybrid working (2 days per week in the office)
• High-quality insurer clients and complex litigation
• Genuine client contact and early responsibility
• Clear and realistic route to partnership for those looking to progress
