An opportunity for a newly-qualified solicitor to join an East Midlands private practice and their litigation offering.
Client Details
A Legal 500 rated law firm.
Description
This is an opportunity for a NQ solicitor or solicitor coming up to qualification to join a busy defendant insurance team in the East Midlands.
You will predominantly be getting involved with RTA matters, acting for long-established insurance clients. The team has a number of Partners and in excess of 10 fee earners, so you will have plenty of support and opportunities to develop.
The team will give you your own caseload, so you will have client contact and autonomy from day one but, equally, you will be supervised and assisted on matters where needed.
This is a leading insurance team and the firm has received a number of new instructions, so they are very confident on pipeline.
The work will all be litigated, rather than pre-litigation matters.
Profile
Ideally you will have experience in defended work but the team have recruited solicitors from a claimant background and this has worked out very well. As such, if your training contract or experience has been claimant focused then this is absolutely fine and they will help to train you.
The team is busy so will look at candidates with all levels of PQE from defendant or claimant backgrounds.
Job Offer
Market rate with good progression prospects.
