Our client is a leading UK law firm with a strong national and international presence, widely recognised for its expertise in Insurance Litigation. Their Bristol office is home to a top-ranked Professional & Financial Risks (PFR) team, which forms a key part of the firm’s overall insurance offering. The team is highly regarded for defending complex professional indemnity claims and acts for many of the major global insurers and insureds.

As an Associate in the PFR team, you will manage a varied caseload of professional indemnity claims, including coverage issues, acting for major insurers and insureds. You will defend claims against a wide range of professionals such as solicitors, insurance brokers, accountants, and financial advisers, both pre- and post-litigation.

You will also advise on regulatory matters, risk management, Mediator complaints, and policy coverage. This role offers early responsibility, autonomy, and the chance to contribute to business development and client initiatives as your career progresses.

You will ideally have 0–4 years’ PQE with a strong grounding in litigation. Insurance experience is desirable but not essential if you have a genuine interest in the sector. You should demonstrate excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, and the ability to deliver practical, commercial solutions.

Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and adaptability are key, along with a proactive approach to client service and a commitment to being part of a collaborative team culture.

You will join a top-ranked Professional & Financial Risks team handling complex, high-quality work for leading insurers and insureds. A competitive salary and benefits package is on offer, along with a clear pathway for career progression.

You will benefit from a supportive and inclusive culture, flexible working options, and excellent work-life balance, all while working with a market-leading team in the South West.

If you’re interested in this role or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. If this job isn’t quite right for you, but you’re exploring new opportunities, we’d be happy to have a confidential conversation about your career.

We would expect a lawyer with the given PQE to have gained the level of experience required, but this does not preclude applications from those with more or less PQE.
