Job description

DAS UK has recently been acquired by ARAG SE and is now in an exciting phase of growth. 

We’re looking for a talented Senior Legal Counsel to join our friendly, highly regarded legal team. You will play a key role in setting the tone and strategy of the team, helping to develop it into a best in class, high quality, integrated and efficient function.  You will be involved in some of the business’ highest profile contracts, so your ability to build strong relationships with senior stakeholders and gain trust quickly is crucial.

Whilst we provide timely and accurate legal advice, that’s only part of the team’s remit; we provide guidance on grey areas of law and help navigate the full range of commercial issues the business faces on a daily basis.

Why us?

DAS UK has a unique and compelling business model which sets us apart from other insurers. We underwrite legal expenses, assistance and miscellaneous financial loss insurance and we have millions of customers across the UK. One of our subsidiaries is an SRA regulated law firm, seamlessly servicing our legal expenses policyholders. The in house legal team spans the whole group, so an ability to operate across differing regulatory frameworks is important. 

Only a stone’s throw from Bristol Temple Meads station, we have newly refurbished, modern city centre offices. Our staff are at the heart of everything we do, and we encourage our people to work flexibly and achieve a work-life balance that works for them.

We offer a highly competitive benefits package including Private Medical Insurance, Group Income and Legal Protection as well as a host of products aimed at wellbeing, including a Sports and Social club and discounted gym memberships.

Request

We are keen to hear from fully qualified solicitors, with significant experience of commercial contracts, whether in-house or in private practice. You will be highly skilled and technically precise with the confidence and ability to negotiate, supervise and gain support of internal clients quickly.

Preferably, you will have experience of the insurance or the wider regulated financial services sector, however this is not essential.

It is vital that you are a team player, prepared to work closely with colleagues of other disciplines whilst building trust and confidence with internal clients and team members through positive, progressive and enthusiastic approach to the challenges and opportunities which will present themselves.

In return for your commitment we will offer you generous remuneration and a benefits package to include:   

  • Private Medical Insurance
  • 26 days holiday with the option to buy up to a further 5 days
  • Company pension scheme with the option to increase contributions
  • Group Income Protection for all employees
  • Group Legal Protection for all employees
  • A choice of either European Motor Assistance or Home Emergency Assistance
  • Salary sacrifice benefits including Cycle scheme 
  • A comprehensive wellbeing programme including an employee Health Cash Plan
  • Access to our employee discounts hub offering exclusive discounts across thousands of retail partners, including discounted gym memberships at over 3,000 gyms across the UK
    - The option to join our Sports and Social club which organises discounted events such as theatre visits, wine tasting and shopping trips

 If you think you would be a good match for this role and can demonstrate some transferable experience please apply, regardless of whether you meet all the criteria listed above.
