Employment Lawyer - Gobal Insurer

Fantastic opportunity for an employment lawyer to join the London HQ of a global insurance firm.

My client, a global insurer, is looking for a senior employment lawyer to join its HQ offices in London.

The successful candidate will be responsible for:

• supporting the HR team and other internal stakeholders on a broad range of employment law related issues;

• advising the business on strategic matters, including employee relations;

• handling and resolving employment related disputes;

• leading on employment litigation when it arises;

• inputting into employment aspects of supply and outsourcing arrangements and contracts;

• regular review of the organisation’s policies and procedures;

• drafting and implementing standard documentation;

• monitoring legal and regulatory developments that affect the business and highlight any current and emerging risks;

• delivering updates to HR and Senior Management;

• procuring and managing external legal advice as appropriate, including across jurisdictions;

• delivering training to the HR team;

• liaising with the Governance/ Company Secretarial and other internal functions to ensure efficient corporate governance;

• working closely with the procurement team and advising on tenders and RFP responses;

• where required, assisting other members of the Legal team on general commercial contract work; and

• adherence to all relevant regulatory requirements forms part of your role, and the demonstration of behaviours as set out in the Conduct Risk Policy, as they relate to your role, is core to the organisation’s commitment to their values, placing customers at the centre of our business and behaving with integrity.

I'm looking to speak with employment lawyers with at least 4 years' PQE who are either working at a top law firm or a leading financial services organisation.
