Description
Our Commercial and Insurance Recoveries team specialises in pursuing recovery and contribution claims across a wide range of insured and uninsured risks, including claims for damage to property as a result of fires, floods, subsidence, defective premises and contractors' negligence as well as recovery claims arising out of personal injury. The team is part of our well established Insurance Disputes practice, which has received recognition as a team to watch in the insurance market.
We now have a new opportunity for a 2-4 PQE Lawyer to join the team in our Bristol office.
So what will you be doing? You will have a varied caseload of recovery claims arising out of a wide range of insured and uninsured events, including damage to commercial and residential property by fire, escapes of water, subsidence and flooding, damage to underground telecoms apparatus caused by third party contractors, financial losses arising from employee theft or fraud, damage to fine art, and contribution claims arising out of claims for personal injury. We specialise in working on behalf of major insurance companies, for whom you will also have the opportunity to advise on matters relating to policy coverage.
