Welcome to your future!

55,000 colleagues in 215 countries and territories. Together on the path to rethinking insurance every day – and shaping the future for everyone. Welcome to a strong community where you make a difference from the very beginning. Together we continue to develop!

Are you fascinated by the challenge of handling legal disputes in the Claims area across various lines and representing Zurich Switzerland as well as our clients before courts and authorities? In our Claims Litigation unit, you work at the interface between law, insurance technology, and customer needs: You contribute to resolving contentious claims fairly, efficiently, and legally soundly, thereby making a direct contribution to the reputation and quality of results of Zurich Switzerland.

Together with your team, you ensure that our Claims organisation is competently represented in objection and appeal procedures (UVG) as well as in selected civil proceedings – from legal assessment through defining the litigation strategy to settlement or court judgement. You work closely with internal claims and benefits specialists, underwriting, product development, and external law firms.

You can expect a collegial, dynamic, and customer-oriented environment where legal excellence, pragmatism, and economic perspective are equally important. You actively contribute to the further development of the "unité de doctrine", monitor changes in the market and regulatory environment, and promote innovation in litigation processes, especially in the areas of digitalisation and automation.

Our success is based on our values: collaboration, customer orientation, and execution strength. Therefore, we are looking for a responsible, solution-oriented, and reliable personality who thinks networked and innovatively. If you bring these qualities, this could be your next professional challenge.
