NQ Defendant EL/PL Solicitor : Birmingham : National Law Firm
Launch your litigation career with one of the UK's leading insurance teams.
If you're due to qualify as a solicitor and are looking to build your career within defendant personal injury litigation, this is an outstanding opportunity to join a nationally recognised law firm with an excellent reputation for developing junior lawyers.
Working as part of a highly regarded casualty team, you'll handle a varied caseload of defendant Employers Liability and Public Liability claims on behalf of major insurers, self-insured organisations and household-name corporate clients. From the outset you'll gain exposure to quality work, receive structured supervision and benefit from genuine investment in your long-term career development.
This role offers the chance to manage your own files while working alongside experienced partners and senior lawyers on more complex and higher-value matters. You'll be encouraged to develop strong technical skills, build client relationships and become an integral part of a collaborative and supportive team.
