Candidate Profile

• Qualified solicitor (England & Wales or equivalent) with strong experience in corporate insurance or financial services law.
• Committed to building a long-term career in insurance law with a genuine interest in both transactional and regulatory work.
• Commercially astute with the ability to handle complex matters and advise clients clearly and confidently.
• A team player with a collaborative approach and excellent communication skills.
