A highly regarded, Legal 500 ranked, specialist insurance litigation boutique in the City is looking to expand its Professional Indemnity team following continued growth.
About the Firm
The firm has established itself as a recognised name in the market, acting for leading insurer clients on complex and high-value professional indemnity claims. The team offers the quality of work typically associated with larger international firms, combined with the responsibility, autonomy and progression opportunities that come with working in a growing specialist practice.
The Role
The firm is primarily seeking an experienced Senior Associate (8+ PQE) but would also be keen to hear from strong Associate-level lawyers (3+ PQE) looking to develop within a specialist professional indemnity practice.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll work on a broad range of defendant professional indemnity matters, with a particular focus on claims involving solicitors, alongside wider financial lines, regulatory and commercial litigation work.
This is a genuinely hands-on role where you'll have significant responsibility, direct client exposure and the opportunity to work closely with partners from day one.
For more senior candidates, there is a clear opportunity to supervise junior lawyers and establish yourself as a future leader within the team.

- Experience defending claims against solicitors would be advantageous, although other professional indemnity backgrounds will be considered
