• Proven experience working within commercial litigation or High Court cases
• Confident communicator with strong writing skills
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage a busy caseload
• High attention to detail and accuracy with legal documentation
• Proficient with Microsoft Office and legal case management systems
• A team player who’s also comfortable working independently

• Experience handling multi-claimant or group litigation
• Exposure to business interruption insurance claims or relevant commercial disputes
• Awareness of basic accountancy principles in relation to business loss

What’s on Offer
