Senior Associate, Insurance

Our client is an international commercial law firm that is highly regarded for its expertise in insurance, dispute resolution and advisory services. The firm operates across 45 offices across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and America. 

The Role 

Our client is seeking a Senior Associate with 4+ years of experience in international dispute resolution, including arbitration, preferably within construction, property, and energy, to join their Singapore office. The Property, Energy & Construction team handles a combination of advisory and contentious work in relation to some of the largest insurance and reinsurance claims in the region and pursues recovery claims.

Recent work includes losses and/or recovery in Japan, France, China, Korea, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Macau SAR, and Spain, involving equipment manufacturers in arbitrations under ICC, LCIA, SIAC rules, and in the courts of Japan.

While experience in insurance work is preferred, it is not required. The successful candidate will be able to deal with cross jurisdictional legal analysis which frequently requires consideration of the law and practice of multiple jurisdictions.  

This is a unique opportunity for bright and ambitious lawyers to join a market-leading, fast-growing team within a global law firm. Successful applicants will engage in a wide range of international work across the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions.

Key requirements: 

• Experience advising insurance sector clients on large and complex speciality claims across property, construction, engineering and energy product lines;
• Experience of international dispute resolution in respect of construction contract disputes and/or industrial product defect claims which sit beneath the insurance programmes on which we advise; or
• A combination of both of the above.
