Senior Professional Indemnity Solicitor

Senior Associate | Professional Indemnity London | 5+ PQE | Boutique Insurance Practice I am working with a growing specialist law firm in the City that is looking to recruit experienced Professional Indemnity Lawyers into its team. The team handle high-quality professional indemnity claims alongside broader financial lines matters including D&O, regulatory investigations and coverage disputes. Having experienced significant growth since its launch, the firm is now looking to make two key hires at c.5+ and 8+ PQE. The Role You will work on a varied caseload of complex professional indemnity matters, currently with a particular focus on claims involving:

• Solicitors
• Financial advisers
• Construction professionals
• Other professional services clients The team also advises on D&O claims, FCA investigations and enforcement matters, and insurance coverage issues. Why Consider This Opportunity? This would particularly suit someone who enjoys high-quality insurance litigation but is looking for greater responsibility and visibility than they may have within a larger team. Associates are given genuine ownership of their matters, with significant involvement in case strategy and active litigation rather than simply reviewing and settling claims. For the more senior hire, there are also strong longer-term progression prospects, making this particularly interesting for someone who may feel their route to partnership at their current firm is unclear or too lengthy. About You Ideally, you will have:
• 5+ years' experience in professional indemnity
• Experience acting for insurers
• Solicitors' professional indemnity experience would be particularly attractive
• Experience defending construction professionals would also be of strong interest
• A desire to work within a smaller, ambitious and collaborative team
• Strong litigation and case management experience The firm is also open to strong regional candidates considering a move to London.
• Competitive salary in line with the London insurance/PI market
• Hybrid working, typically 2–3 days per week in the office
• City of London location
• Excellent quality insurer clients
• Genuine scope for career progression For further information or a confidential conversation, please get in touch. Alice Tiller alice.tiller@lhh.com / +44 207 015 2443 +44 7889 071 427
