Key responsibilities:
The successful candidate will run their own workload under supervision of a partner, handling claims from commencement through to trial or negotiated settlement. This will also involve regular liaison directly with clients.
Skills and experience:
The successful candidate will be of degree calibre. Experience of defending disease claims at another law firm is essential. Experience of other litigation work would also be very useful.
Key competencies:
The successful candidate will be able to work flexibly, manage their workload effectively, prioritising and working to specific deadlines. They will have a commercial approach and a good attention to detail.
In addition to the above, Eversheds also require awareness and full participation in the Firm’s commitment to equality and diversity, the environment and health and safety.
Eversheds endeavours to recruit and fill vacancies directly. However, when we do need to engage with agencies, Eversheds operates within a preferred supplier list.
