We have an established and well-respected group of lawyers in our
Property Damage Team who advise some of the UK's largest insurers and
their underwriters on all classes of property damage claims and
corporate fraud recoveries. This includes £multi-million claims for
fire, infrastructure damage, flood damage, building defect claims,
Party Wall Act disputes as well as subsidence, under a full suite of
property policies to include commercial combined covers, property
owners risks and Construction All Risks cover. Our policy coverage
claims involve advice on non-disclosure and fair presentation of risk
and breach of conditions. In our fraud work we frequently act for
corporate crime insurers and companies which have been defrauded in
our pursuit of the recovery of assets or data stolen, including
recovery by injunctive relief.
The Role
The role offers the opportunity for a broad range of work as the team
works for insurers, brokers and corporate clients on the full range of
property damage work including defending liability claims, pursuing
high value recoveries, and advising on coverage and customer
complaints. The team also pursue recoveries of money and assets stolen
through fraud, including the full range of injunctive relief and work
for corporate crime insurers.
We are interested in hearing from solicitors with a strong academic
background and candidates with at least 1 + year within this practice
area. Applicants should have sound technical ability, with experience
of multi-track property damage liability claims, subrogated recoveries
and policy coverage disputes. Experience in handling complex disputes
arising out of fires, escapes of water and oil, subsidence and
construction & engineering related incidents is a advantage
We are keen to hear from excellent communicators, litigators and
confident negotiators. Together with excellent commercial acumen, we
look for experience at resolving disputes through various forms of ADR.
