If you would like to join this interesting and forward thinking team then it is essential that you can handle a mixed workload of professional negligence claims in accordance with client protocols and with an appropriate level of supervision. You will be expected to act as a key point of contact for clients, demonstrating a level of knowledge and skill commensurate with experience.
