Senior Counsel - Singapur, Singapore - Aon
Description
Aon is recruiting a Senior Counsel to join our Dispute Resolution team in Asia and Greater China.
The Disputes Resolution team is part of the Aon Asia law department, and this team is primarily responsible for providing advice and risk management support in relation to professional negligence claims against all of Aon's solution lines.
Aon is in the business of better decisions
At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world.
As an organization, we are united through trust as one inclusive, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.
What the day will look like
How this opportunity is different
There is high demand for our expertise in the Disputes Resolution team and this team is often required to become involved in and advise on issues broader than active disputes. We need an experienced lawyer to support the team and to be responsible for overseeing E&O and litigation matters in Asia.
From time to time, our businesses receive claims or lawsuits that relate to professional negligence issues among others. For instance, this could be in our Commercial Risk, Reinsurance or Health business in relation to insurance broking or other services we provide to a client. Or it could be in our Wealth business in relation to pension scheme administration or other services that we provide to a client. Your role will be to support all of our business solution lines in relation to the investigation, defence and settlement of these claims and lawsuits among other types of disputes and investigations.
The team also does a large amount of pre-litigation work which, when it is done effectively, completely mitigates the potential for Aon to have any greater liability thus greatly reducing the risk of financial and reputational loss resulting from E&Os.
Skills and experience that will lead to success
How we support our colleagues
In addition to our comprehensive benefits package, we encourage a diverse workforce. Plus, our agile, inclusive environment allows you to manage your wellbeing and work/life balance, ensuring you can be your best self at Aon. Furthermore, all colleagues enjoy two "Global Wellbeing Days" each year, encouraging you to take time to focus on yourself. We offer a variety of working style solutions, but we also recognise that flexibility goes beyond just the place of work... and we are all for it. We call this Smart Working
