Our client requires a solicitor from a civil litigation background with a solid understanding of CPR who has ideally handled some big disclosure cases /recent public inquiries /inquests.
You must know your way around public inquiry rules and have worked in a team environment with fairly defined roles. Someone from a specialist regulatory background would be ideal, particularly if you have worked on large scale cases such as the Hillsborough tragedy.

Candidates who have between 0-2 years PQE would suit the work on offer for this role, however, this has only been given as a guide and those who fall outside of this bracket but have the necessary skills and experience are encouraged to apply.
