Job description

Our Litigation Department is recruiting and offering a unique and exciting opportunity for those seeking to advance in their legal career by joining our MOJ Post Limitation Team (MPL). This is a fee-earning role, and you will be responsible for running your own caseload.

The MPL Team acts on behalf of clients claiming personal injury and financial losses arising out of road traffic accidents. The successful candidate will deal with a caseload of claims that are litigated, always acting in the best interests of the client and advancing the case proactively to a positive outcome. Your caseload will comprise liability admitted cases valued between £5,000.00 and £25,000.00.

You will be responsible for offering excellent client care and ensuring that all aspects of injuries and losses are explored and advanced. Injuries may range from general orthopaedic injuries to varied investigations and medical reports; often your claims will have multiple medical experts instructed. Investigations into financial losses can require detailed and specialist advice, ranging from employed loss of earnings, self-employed losses to ongoing treatment or care needs, among others. Exceptional client care skills are highly desirable.

While previous litigation experience is desirable, it is not essential. You will be provided with the opportunity to grow and develop through close links with other experienced fee earners in the team and learn from their mentoring and buddying schemes.
