I am now recruiting for a fantastic opportunity for an Industrial Disease Solicitor to join a leading Defendant firm at their office in Essex. The salary and benefits package is competitive and negotiable dependent on experience.
My client has offices across the UK and specialises in Defendant Personal Injury and Industrial Disease. They are a relatively new firm however, the Partners and those who helped establish the firm previously worked at large National Insurance firms and so their level of experience and expertise rivals that of the Nationals. They pride themselves on being able to provide an exceptional level of service without the high costs associated with large Insurance firms and have grown at a steady rate since they were established around 5 years ago.
The successful candidate will manage their own caseload and will work as part of the experienced Industrial Disease team with a focus on litigated Asbestos cases. You will have overall responsibility for the file once it becomes apparent that it will be become litigated and so day to day you will be:
- Assessing liability and valuing the claim
- Drafting witness statements and Court documents
- Instructing medical experts and Counsel
- Preparing for Trial
- Negotiating and settling claims
- Attending Trial with Counsel (when required).
Applications are invited from Solicitors at all levels however, if you are Newly Qualified you must have experience of litigated Industrial Disease during your Training Contact and some prior Paralegal experience. Those from a Claimant background are also encouraged to apply.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Industrial Disease Solicitor to join a leading firm at their Essex office.
