Descrizione del lavoro

A Legal 500 firm with offices across the Northwest of England are looking for a solicitor to work in the industrial disease department at their Manchester City Centre office.

*Please note, the firm is happy to offer hybrid working for this role, with the majority of work carried out remotely from home on successful completion of the probationary period.

The firm would like to speak to solicitors with a minimum of 3 years' PQE who are able to manage a caseload of industrial and occupational disease claims. Defendant insurance experience is strongly preferred, although the firm will consider an experienced disease practitioner with demonstrably transferable skills and a sound understanding of defendant litigation.

The ideal candidate will have experience in most of the following:

• asbestos-related disease
• noise-induced hearing loss
• hand-arm vibration syndrome
• occupational asthma and dermatitis
• repetitive strain and other occupational disease claims
• limitation, breach, exposure, medical causation and quantum issues
• multi-defendant claims, contribution and apportionment
• historic employer and insurer investigations
• reviewing medical and engineering evidence
• drafting pleadings, witness evidence and advice on liability, causation, tactics and settlement
• insurer reporting, reserve recommendations and working within delegated authority arrangements; and
• management of both pre-litigation and litigated claims through to settlement or trial.

The role will be full-time, permanent and salary will be negotiable depending on experience but should be very competitive.
