Careers

Kennedys is a vibrant practice. We have seen significant growth over the last few years.  This has been driven partly by changes in our key insurance markets over the last few years but also to ensure that we are best placed to serve this key part of the Firm's practice both now and looking forward. Our growth is also a reflection of changes in the legal market place that serves the insurance industry, with ever increasing consolidation amongst the providers of legal services to the insurance industry.

Our values are a very important part of the makeup of the Firm. The key Values are" Being approachable and responsive", "Showing respect for people", "Being trustworthy and straightforward" and "Delivering Economic Solutions".

Types of work

We are one of the leading litigation firms in the City and the majority of our partners are dedicated to the conduct and resolution of disputes whether by negotiation, litigation or arbitration/mediation. Our specialist litigation teams handle the whole spectrum of insurance work together with a large volume of work for the construction industry. We have expertise in the transportation sector and a fast-growing reputation for our work in the employment, health and safety, healthcare and insolvency sectors. One of our unique selling points is the quality of service provided to the more complicated London Market sector. We recognise the need that clients have for an across the board service and are, therefore, geared up to do every class of work should that be required. We also recognise the need to be able to provide a full City service to clients and are committed to the development of our property and commercial departments.
