    • Reviewing DD reports in order to understand key deal issues relevant to successful risk placement.
    • Leading negotiations with markets.
    • Managing processes through to successful close.
  • Assisting the team in developing consistent, market leading wordings and assisting junior team members in understanding complex policy matters.

  • The ability to demonstrate strong business acumen.
  • Experience of working in a client facing environment within Corporate/M&A law.
