    About the Opportunity

    Cartel Inc., a leading legal recruitment agency, is partnering with a respected litigation firm to identify an experienced Insurance Defence Lawyer with a focus on construction, property, and commercial claims. This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated lawyer to manage a dynamic caseload representing insurers, construction professionals, and corporate clients while developing practical risk management solutions.

    You will be exposed to complex files including builders' risk, commercial property, professional negligence, and multi‑party disputes, while working closely with national insurers, technical experts, and senior counsel.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Manage all aspects of litigation: drafting pleadings, conducting discoveries, pre‑trials, mediations, and trials.
    • Defend claims involving construction defects, property damage, product liability, and commercial disputes.
    • Evaluate liability, damages, and coverage issues, providing clear and timely reporting to clients and insurers.
    • Develop litigation strategies in collaboration with senior counsel, adjusters, and technical experts.
    • Negotiate settlements and represent clients in mediation and other dispute resolution forums.
    • Maintain file control, meet reporting requirements, and manage billings in accordance with insurer guidelines.
    • Advise clients on risk management, contract interpretation, and insurance coverage.

    Qualifications

    • LL.B. or J.D. and membership in good standing with the LSO
    • 3–7 years of experience in insurance defence litigation, ideally with exposure to construction and commercial liability claims.
    • Strong advocacy, analytical, and drafting skills.
    • Ability to manage multiple files independently with attention to detail.
    • Proven communication and client management skills with insurers and corporate stakeholders.
    • Solid understanding of construction contracts, negligence principles, and insurance policy interpretation.

    Preferred Assets

    • Experience with builders' risk, wrap‑up liability, professional liability, and CGL claims.
    • Familiarity with mediation and arbitration proceedings.
    • Exposure to multi‑party litigation involving contractors, engineers, and design professionals.

    Why Consider This Role

    • Join a highly regarded national insurance defence and construction litigation team.
    • Competitive compensation, benefits, and professional development opportunities.
    • Flexible hybrid work arrangements in a collegial, team‑oriented environment.
    • Direct client exposure and meaningful file responsibility from day one.
