Your new company
This international commercial law firm is looking for an experienced legal costs draftsperson due to significant growth within its health team.
Your new role
You will join a Costs team with extensive experience of dealing with a vast array of costs-related matters. As well as being responsible for your own caseload, you will also be involved in supporting litigation lawyers within a number of offices both domestically and internationally. A large aspect of this role involves working on multi track adverse costs claims. The ideal candidate will be somebody who is comfortable working with minimal supervision on matters from cradle to grave.
What you'll need to succeed
You will have previous experience working as a costs draftsperson and particularly in drafting points of dispute and reply. An understanding of the Civil Procedure Rules and related legislation will be beneficial in addition to having quality communication and organisational skills. Although not essential, candidates with prior experience at using Costsmaster and attendance at detailed assessment hearings would be desirable. Only applications with UK experience should apply.
What you'll get in return
You will receive a competitive salary with an excellent benefits package. There will also be opportunities to work flexibly with a mixture of office and home-based working. You will have the opportunity to thrive within a busy department and a firm that is continually growing. Please contact Samuel Higgins at Hays Legal for further information on the role.
