Senior Underwriter / Lat Am W& I A general insurer is expanding its transactional risk practice into Latin America and is looking to appoint an attorney into the team as an M& A Underwriter to play a central role in that growth. This is a rare opportunity to join a well-capitalised, internationally recognised insurer at the ground floor of a strategic market expansion — working on complex, cross-border transactions across one of the world's most dynamic and fast-developing M& A markets. You will be responsible for assessing, structuring, and underwriting W& I insurance across a broad range of cross-border transactions with a primary focus on the Lat Am region. Working closely with brokers, legal advisors, and deal teams, you will be at the heart of high-value international M& A activity — building relationships, evaluating risk,
and helping to establish the firm's presence and reputation in the region. You will bring a strong legal background preferably with some attachment to Latin American and most likely as a transactional attorney with M& A or corporate experience — combined with a genuine interest in the insurance side of deal-making. Experience in W& I or transactional risk underwriting is advantageous but not essential; what matters is strong legal analytical ability, commercial instinct, and an understanding of how deals are structured and documented in the region. Fluency in Spanish or Portuguese (native or near-native) is essential, as is the ability to engage confidently with clients, brokers, and advisors across the region.
