Senior In-house Claims Solicitor - Liability & Construction

The Client

Sacco Mann is once again working alongside the UK subsidiary of a leading international NYSE Fortune 500 organisation, with 60 offices across 20 countries and a global footprint spanning insurance, reinsurance, specialist advisory and investment operations.

This is not a traditional private practice environment. It is a sophisticated, commercially driven business where legal professionals sit close to the decision-making, with genuine visibility and influence.

 

The Role

If you are currently part of a high-volume claims team where work can feel process-driven and repetitive, this opportunity offers something materially different.

Working within a close-knit, highly regarded in-house claims function, you will handle a genuinely varied caseload across multiple classes of business. There is a particular focus on:

  • Professional Indemnity
  • Cyber
  • Management Liability
  • Employers’ Liability
  • Public Liability

 

Applications from candidates with a background in Clinical Negligence are also welcomed.

Importantly, this is not a “conveyor belt” claims role. You will take real ownership of individual matters from notification through to resolution, applying policy interpretation, exercising judgement and engaging directly with stakeholders. The work is broader, more commercially nuanced and offers greater accountability than many traditional law firm claims team positions.

 

The Person

You will be a UK qualified solicitor with at least 3 years’ PQE.

Ideally, you will bring detailed knowledge of policy wordings and their application, particularly in relation to Professional Indemnity, Cyber or Management Liability claims, alongside a working knowledge of UK Retail wordings.

Equally important is a desire to step into a role offering greater autonomy, responsibility and commercial exposure – moving beyond volume-driven file handling to a position where your judgement genuinely matters.

 

This is a hybrid position, primarily based in prestigious central Leeds offices, with one day per week working from home.
