I am Paula, the recruiter for this role. I love traveling, especially to international destinations, and sushi is my favourite food. Additionally, I enjoy flamenco fashion and dancing sevillanas. As you can see, enthusiasm and diversity are part of my daily life. Lovely to meet you!
Perhaps this is the 10th Job Description you read today, sitting on your couch with Netflix playing in the background, or contemplating your life planning to refresh your career. I am sure by now all offers look the same.
I will be honest with you, at Zurich we do not claim to be perfect, but we are pretty cool! If you want to know why, keep reading!
But first, THANK YOU for showing interest in our company. We know that a job search can be challenging, but don’t worry, what goes around comes around!
Let’s get straight to the point! I will try to sum up our DNA in 2 essential points :
* We love volunteering but we prefer to be Change Activists. What does that mean? We focus our efforts on helping youths at risk of social marginalization and fighting climate change by reforesting parks or woods in Madrid and in the Doñana Forest. In 2024, we did more than 20,000 hours of activism.
* At Zurich, we say it loud and clear: We are proud of our colors, and we believe that a diverse and inclusive team makes the difference. We don’t discuss disability, we discuss capability! We want you to be yourself, without closets in between or glass ceilings making you fragile. 50% of our high-responsibility positions are occupied by women (including our Executive Committee). Did you know that we produce our own podcasts about gender identity? We are building a company where everyone is welcome!
We are looking for a Legal Counsel to join our headquarters office based in Barcelona. Your main responsibilities will involve:

Distribution:
Providing legal support to the Distribution Area in all legal matters related to Zurich’s agents and broker network.
Digital Contracting Processes:
Reviewing web-based product contracting processes and website Terms and Conditions.
How do you know you fit in? I’ll explain:
