The posting

Keoghs LLP is one of the leading insurance law firms in the UK and can rightly claim to be amongst the most dynamic in its sector. We currently have an exciting opportunity for a talented insurance lawyer to join our Property Risks & Coverage Team, specialising in Recoveries. This role will be based in our Birmingham office, with hybrid working available and flexible working encouraged for the right candidate.

This is a claimant-focused position and the successful candidate will manage a caseload of household and commercial property recovery claims on behalf of a range of well-known insurer clients. The work covers a variety of perils, including fire, flood and product liability claims, with values typically exceeding £10,000. We are looking for candidates with experience handling claims valued between £10,000 and £100,000, as well as higher-value matters exceeding £100,000. Experience of complex, high-value recovery claims will be a distinct advantage.

This is a technical and, at times, client-facing role, suited to a well-rounded lawyer with a strong interest in delivering practical legal solutions and building lasting client relationships. You will have opportunities to support training, mentoring and knowledge-sharing initiatives alongside your casework responsibilities.

The team regularly delivers seminars and workshops to insurer clients, and the ideal candidate will have an interest in client development and be willing to assist with the preparation and delivery of training on technical legal issues.

  • Conduct settlement negotiations, including drafting and advising on Part 36 offers
  • Prepare and manage pre-action applications and interim applications
  • Progress claims from initial instruction through to settlement or trial
  • Assist with alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including mediation
  • Attend court hearings and case management conferences
  • Undertake advocacy by telephone, video conference and in person where appropriate
  • Ensure compliance with SRA Standards and Regulations and internal governance requirements

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
