PERSONAL INJURY SOLICITOR RTA AND EL/PL – MANCHESTER

Personal Injury Solicitor – This is an exciting chance to join an expanding team offering a blend of litigated RTA and EL/PL work including complex RTA and cross border disputes. You will be assisting a highly respected Partner, recognised in both the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners. The role offers exposure to the highest quality work advising self-insured clients across a number of different sectors including housing and leisure.

KEY FACTS

• Job Title: Associate (1-4 PQE)
• Location: Manchester
• Salary: £35,000 - £40,000
• Reports to: Partner / Head of Department
• Previous experience: Candidates must be able to demonstrate solid litigated RTA experience from a defendant insurance background. Exposure to EL/PL work would also be an advantage.

MIX OF RTA AND EL/PL

The nature of the team and its client base means that fee earners are exposed to a mix of litigated RTA and EL/PL work. The work can involve advising on anything from fast track to multi track cases and the variety of different matters is certainly one of the main attractions of the opportunity, not least because solicitors are able to develop skills across a number of different sectors.

A solid grasp of the litigation process is therefore essential. Furthermore, the team also undertakes cross border work especially in relation to their clients who operate in the leisure sector. An experience of cross border work, therefore, would be beneficial but not crucial.

WHAT THE TEAM IS LOOKING FOR

The department is looking to attract strong litigators, but also lawyers who can think on their feet and who feel comfortable advising on a variety of work. Excellent service levels are a must as the successful candidate will be expected to develop good working relationships enabling the best client experience.

FUTURE CAREER PROGRESSION

The team is looking for candidates who wish to build a long-term career with the department. This is a growing team within the Manchester insurance practice group, offering the chance for talented individuals to progress and develop. All in all, this is an exciting role designed to attract a solicitor who is looking for a real challenge with access to a fantastic variety of quality work.
