Job Description

Eames Consulting is working with an international M&A Insurer who is looking to appoint a Real Estate Solicitor with 3 years’ experience after diploma for their Warsaw office.

The majority of individuals within Title underwriting market are ex-practice solicitors who decided that they want to take more control of their future and move into a rapidly expanding market.

As far as day to day duties go, you would be responsible for driving awareness of the solution within the broader business, both in the local office as well as within the international offices. Responsible for liaison with real estate clients to craft the solutions appropriate for their business, negotiate with policy providers, take control of the transactions and deal progress, providing clients with guidance on available solutions through understanding of the legalities associated.

Reasons why solicitors have moved from Practice to Insurance:

  • Commercial decision making – you’re involved in the process and influencing the process rather than simply following instruction.
  • More opportunity to develop your softer skills rather than just legal. (negotiation, presentation, networking, pipeline, client management).
  • Control over your own workload - not being relentlessly demanded upon by Partners.
  • Variety of transactions you will see, both in nature and geography, will often be greater than that in a niche team within a legal firm.
  • Total Compensation is often greater in insurance, depending on the firm and their reward structure you would generally expect a 20 – 50% growth in total compensation when moving from practice to insurance.

So, if you’re an experienced Real Estate Solicitor, who is likely to be at Associate or Senior Associate level, looking for a change in direction with more professional and financial reward, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
