Job Details

A UK-based law firm with international reach is looking for an experienced individual to join their Risk and Compliance team in London to focus on Claims and Complaints. This role offers the opportunity to be part of a growing team, with excellent career progression prospects.

Working predominantly with the Director of Risk and Compliance, the role offers an incredibly varied portfolio of work, providing a fantastic opportunity to really get to the heart of the regulatory and risk issues facing law firms today. This is due to the firm's unique agreement with insurers that most claims are dealt in-house, rather than by external lawyers.

Our client is looking to hear from candidates able to get to the heart of their business, understand how they manage their client relationships, whilst also managing and mitigating risk and driving commercial decision making within the group and wider firm. Suitable candidates will have the drive and tenacity to get to grips with how things work at the firm in order to provide a proactive and commercial approach to managing all aspects of the regulation surrounding the firm.

The successful candidate will be comfortable running claims from the pre-action stage through to trial/settlement (with supervision) and liaising with insurers. In addition, they will be involved in handling complaints against the firm and Data Subject Access Requests. With strong experience in professional negligence litigation (ideally defendant based) or general commercial litigation, the successful candidate will be comfortable working as part of a dynamic and fast paced in-house team, delivering training, and driving best practice across the firm.

Successful candidates will be commercially driven and demonstrate a degree of flair and gravitas in order to flourish in a dynamic working environment. Excellent written and verbal communication is a pre-requisite, as are organisational and prioritising skills. Candidates will need to be able to command the trust and confidence of senior stakeholders and clients who expect a first-class service.

This role is likely to suit someone who is keen to move away from fee-earning work and use their litigation skills in an in-house risk and compliance team. This role offers plenty of opportunities for the successful candidate to develop and make their mark within an exciting and growing business.

Responsibilities / Duties:

  • Working alongside the Director of Risk and Compliance and COLP to manage all claims, complaints, DSARs and associated litigation.
  • Liaising directly with insurers in relation to claims as and when they arise.
  • Assisting other team members with issues affecting the business and mitigating risks and exposures.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • 5+ years' PQE experience of running either professional negligence claims or general commercial litigation, with a desire to become a true specialist as part of a growing in-house team.
  • An assertive and commercial approach, with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to present themselves in a confident manner to fee-earners, insurers, and third parties.
  • Excellent drafting skills.
  • The ability to manage claims and complaints on a day-to-day basis with supervision.
  • Strong organisational and prioritising skills required to meet the demands of challenging and commercial internal clients, as well as dealing with the competing priorities of a diverse workload.
  • High standards of care and service in a professional and pleasant manner.
  • The ability to challenge and influence senior stakeholders through efficient and responsive communication.
  • The ability to work independently and as part of a team, with a diligent and proactive approach to work.
