**Commercial Corporate Lawyer** recruitment
My client is a wholesale insurance underwriter with a presence in the London market. Listed on the London Stock Exchange, my client uses its insight to deliver excellence and achieve success across the risk-taking insurance business and underwrites a mix of short and long-tail business, encompassing property, liability, marine and “speciality” classes.
In order to support the recently re-organised compliance and legal function my client is looking to recruit a corporate lawyer. You will have primary responsibility for all legal aspects within the business, reporting to the Director with responsibility for Legal, Compliance and Corporate Governance issues. Duties include, but are not limited to:-
• Consulting on business transactions, drafting contracts either directly or with the support of external lawyers
• Managing the relationships with external lawyers to ensure a timely and agreeable resolution to varied and challenging legal matters
• Advise the business and negotiate where necessary the effective resolution of commercial disputes
• Accountable for all legal aspects of the business which are driven by the fact that the business is regulated and listed on the London Stock Exchange
This is an excellent opportunity for a commercial qualified solicitor who is approximately 4-5 years post qualified. You will either work for a legal practice and have considerable exposure to the financial services sector or be working in an in-house capacity. This is a truly challenging role in a dynamic and growing business, presenting a genuine opportunity for the successful individual.
