Kennedys Legal Solutions is looking for a Senior Associate with 4+ years' experience in international dispute resolution, including arbitration, preferably within construction, property and energy, to join our Singapore office.

The Property, Energy & Construction team handles a combination of advisory and contentious work in relation to some of the largest insurance and reinsurance claims in the region and also pursuing recovery claims.

The successful Senior Associate will have experience of:

Advising insurance sector clients on large and complex speciality claims across property, construction, engineering and energy product lines;
