Job Description:

My client is a leading international law firm and they are looking to bring in an EL/PL Lawyer to join their growing Personal Injury team in Newport. This newly created role has come about due to the firm’s continued growth and offers a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to step into a supervisory role while maintaining a quality caseload of their own.

  • collaborate with the Team Manager, who will support with HR issues (e.g. performance, disciplinaries)
  • provide input into the development of the team and processes as it continues to grow.

Requirements:

  • Experience in defendant EL/PL litigation, although those from a claimant background looking to get into a defendant role will also be considered
  • ability to manage your own caseload effectively while supporting others
  • experience with higher-value claims (over £100k) is a plus
  • strong communication and organisational skills
  • you may be a Solicitor, Chartered Legal Executive, or a paralegal with 6+ years’ experience.
What we offer:
  • Hybrid working with 3 days in-office per week
