CATASTROPHIC PERSONAL INJURY / CLINICAL NEGLIGENCE SOLICITOR
LEEDS-BASED, LEADING INTERNATIONAL LAW FIRM
COMPETITIVE SALARY
1 - 5+ PQE
My client, a leading international law firm with offices in Leeds, is looking to add to their Large Loss team by recruiting a qualified solicitor with a strong background of defending Catastrophic PI and/or Clinical Negligence claims. The ideal candidate will ideally possess between 1 and 5 years' PQE.
Joining an existing team of fourteen lawyers, you will work closely with a number of Partners, Associates and other fee-earners and your responsibilities will mainly revolve around assisting these individuals with the running of their catastrophic personal injury caseload cases and acting as the point of contact for clients when the principal fee earner is unavailable. As well as this you will be expected to instruct counsel and other relevant parties, and you will review, draft and collate accompanying documents as required.
As well as boasting strong Clinical Negligence / Personal Injury experience, the ideal candidate will possess a strong commercial mindset and will be client-focussed with good interpersonal skills. A strong academic record would be a prerequisite, as will evidence of efficiently working with a case management system in a previous role, including demonstrable experience of excellent organisational skills to prioritise and organise workload/tasks.
This would represent an exciting and rewarding role for an ambitious lawyer with genuine prospects for progression at a firm with an international offering. Should you want to express and interest in this role, or if you have any questions around it, please contact Simon Williams on 0113 200 3717.
