Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand MMC Corporate Full time

Marsh is actively seeking candidates to join its expanding Legal, Risk & Compliance team, ideally based in its Auckland office.

We are currently hiring for the position of Legal Counsel - Generalist.

What can you expect? This is an exciting opportunity for lawyers who are looking to make a move in-house or for established in-house lawyers seeking to join a leading global professional services organization. At Marsh McLennan, you will have the chance to work in a dynamic and experienced Legal, Risk & Compliance team. We also offer the potential for hybrid working flexibility.

Why join us? At Marsh, we believe that every colleague has the right to feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to work. We value our employees and offer a range of benefits to ensure they feel valued and supported each day, including:

  • Leading training and development programs
  • Brand new agile workspaces
  • A professional environment where your career path is supported and valued within our global organization
  • A great team environment with energetic and supportive colleagues

What will you be responsible for? As a Legal Counsel, you will provide advice and guidance on a wide range of corporate, commercial, and financial services related legal issues. This includes:

  • General advice and guidance
  • Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a variety of agreements and documents, including insurer terms of business, terms of engagement, delegated authority, confidentiality, consultancy, and supplier agreements
  • Financial services regulation and change
  • Insurance broker duties and obligations, including disclosure and conflicts of interest
  • Litigation and dispute resolution
  • Reviewing marketing and communication material
  • Projects and strategic initiatives
  • Privacy and confidentiality

Our ideal candidate will have experience advising within the insurance industry and an understanding of the evolving regulatory environment for insurance brokers and insurers, including Financial Advice and CoFI. You will work closely with your colleagues within Risk & Compliance and provide support to our Insurance Broking and Advisory business, as well as the Senior Legal Counsel and Chief Counsel. There is also considerable opportunity to broaden and develop your knowledge, skills, and experience within the Wealth & Investment industry and Marsh McLennan more generally.

What qualifications do you need? To be considered for this role, you should have at least 5 years of post-qualification experience with a current practicing certificate or the ability to obtain one. Ideally, you will have experience within the insurance industry, but experience gained in financial services within a law firm or large corporate organization will also be considered. Litigation experience is an advantage but not essential.

What sets you apart? We are looking for candidates who are able to work independently with oversight and support, are team players, have a commercial and pragmatic mindset, can build relationships within the business, and can juggle competing priorities and meet deadlines.

Join us at Marsh and be part of a global organization that values your unique skills and contributions. Apply now to take the next step in your career.
