Salary: Competitive, depending on experience
Full-time | Part-time considered
If you're an experienced litigator or professional negligence solicitor looking to step away from fee earning into a strategic, firm-wide role, this could be an excellent opportunity.

With multiple offices across the East Midlands and beyond, the firm has enjoyed sustained growth while maintaining a collaborative and supportive culture. It is recognised for the quality of its legal services, long-serving teams and genuine commitment to helping its people build rewarding, long-term careers.
Working closely with the COLP and senior leadership team, this is a high-profile role where you'll help shape the firm's approach to risk, governance and client care.
