Your Role

• Reviewing cases and relevant matters with supervisors to ensure quality legal advice.

About You

• 3-5 years PQE with a background in Medical Negligence.
• Experience in group actions is advantageous but not essential.
• Highly organized with commercial awareness.
• Ability to work collaboratively and independently.
• Capable of working under pressure.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to receive your application.
