Interested? If you're a NQ to 2-year PQE solicitor looking for a role that offers genuine variety, high-quality work and the opportunity to learn from one of the leading names in casualty litigation, we'd love to hear from you. This is a chance to build expertise across complex EL/PL litigation, public sector work and tribunal claims, while working on cases that are anything but ordinary.
