My client has a major presence in the motor retail group in the UK with over 190 sales outlets nationwide and are looking to expand further. There is currently an opportunity for a qualified lawyer (solicitor or CILEx) to take on a challenging but rewarding litigation role as part of a strong and experienced legal team.
The role is question is 100% contentious in nature and would therefore perfectly suit candidates with a real passion for litigation work. The ideal candidate is someone who can demonstrate experience in handling matters of civil procedure and liaising with the courts on various aspects of litigation. Perhaps most importantly for this role will be a candidate's legal drafting ability in terms of addressing correspondence to clients in a manner which is fair, firm and understandable. This role is therefore perhaps a good fit for someone who is looking to transition away from a regular insurance-based litigation role into something more bespoke which presents an opportunity to really understand the business and how to act in its best interests.
This role would also be open to candidates who have obtained qualification through CILEx. My client's standard working arrangement is 3 days in the office (based in Gateshead) and 2 working remotely from home. Salary would be bespoke depending on the level of experience that the ideal candidate could bring to the role and has a varied benefits package.
This is a business-critical role for my client and they are looking to fill this recruitment need as soon as possible. It is therefore very likely that there will be a quick turnaround for candidates of interest.
