This role is ideal for someone who wishes to gain further exposure to working on high value complex cases with a team exclusively on behalf of claimants. We’re looking for someone who can undertake substantive work on these cases with minimal assistance. You will be given the opportunity to be involved in the cases from the outset and will continue to be closely involved throughout their duration, giving you the opportunity to understand the issues involved to enable you to assist with tasks including instructing appropriate medical experts, dealing with disclosure, proofing witnesses and preparing well-structured witness statements.
