• Maintain and develop legal templates, playbooks, and guidance materials to ensure consistency and efficiency.
• Contribute to legal and regulatory training across the business.
• Monitor legal, regulatory, and market developments, providing concise updates to key stakeholders.

What We Are Looking For

• Qualified solicitor (England & Wales) with around two years’ post‑qualification experience gained in‑house or within a recognised insurance, financial services, or corporate practice.
• Proven experience drafting and negotiating commercial contracts.
• Understanding of the Lloyd’s or wider insurance market, and its regulatory environment.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, balancing technical precision with commercial pragmatism.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to provide clear advice to non‑legal audiences.
• Collaborative, proactive, and professional, with sound judgement and integrity.
