Description
Keoghs is looking for a talented NQ-2 Years PQE Solicitor to join its Casualty team in Bristol.
This is a rare opportunity to develop your career on a broad and highly technical caseload that goes well beyond traditional EL/PL litigation. You'll work very closely with a recognised leader in the field, assisting on complex and high-value claims for a diverse public sector client base, including police forces and local authorities.
The work is varied, intellectually stimulating and often high profile, with claim values ranging from substantial six-figure sums to matters worth millions of pounds. You'll also gain valuable exposure to tribunal claims, providing a breadth of experience that is difficult to find elsewhere this early in your legal career.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist on a varied caseload of complex and high-value Employer's and Public Liability claims
- Review and analyse liability, causation and quantum evidence
- Draft pleadings, witness statements and other legal documentation
- Liaise with clients, counsel, experts and witnesses
- Support trial preparation and attendance at conferences
- Assist with a range of tribunal matters, gaining exposure to additional areas of contentious work alongside your EL/PL caseload
- Conduct legal research and contribute to strategic advice on complex and often novel legal issues
