This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.

The Defensibility & Regulatory Team works with the full range of Marsh’s clients from FTSE 100 companies to family-owned businesses, charities and local authorities. We help clients to better understand the full extent of their legal liabilities and put them in a better position to defend civil and regulatory action.  The regulatory law we assist with relates to action taken by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

We will count on you to:
•    Provide clients with bespoke advice by undertaking detailed reviews of their current practice.

•    Manage your own diary and projects. You will therefore need to be organised and self-motivated.
•    Not only deliver work, but also market our services and bring in additional revenue by developing relationships with clients and colleagues. This is a great opportunity for those with an entrepreneurial spirit and good inter-personal skills.
