Senior Legal Counsel – Insurance

Company: Taylor Root
Apply for the Senior Legal Counsel – Insurance
Location: Reading
Job Description:

I’m currently partnering with a highly successful PE-backed business on the appointment of a Senior Legal Counsel.

This is a rare opportunity for a contentious insurance lawyer with experience in personal or commercial insurance lines looking to move into a commercial, regulatory and strategic advisory work in a fast-moving environment.

What makes this role particularly attractive is the longer-term trajectory. The business views legal as a strategic partner and is seeking someone with plans to grow into a future Head of Legal position.

You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders across the organisation, advising on a broad range of commercial and regulatory matters while helping to support the next phase of growth.

Ideal for lawyers with:

  • 5+ years’ PQE
  • Strong insurance experience – contentious or non-contentious
  • A keen interest in regulatory matters
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills
  • Ambitions to progress into legal leadership
