The team handles a high proportion of litigated cases, many of which are dealt with on an expedited basis in the High Court. This team does not just deal with compensation claims, they work closely with their clients and their families to ensure all needs are met.

The role.

Given the nature of the work you’ll work with vulnerable clients, and your role will be highly rewarding, but you’ll have to be resilient and calm whilst also putting your client’s needs first at all times.
