We have an exciting opportunity for a talented and experienced Lawyer to join our hugely successful Serious Injury team in Cambridge.
We’re looking for an individual who can demonstrate prior experience and expertise working on claims of the utmost severity, such as brain and spinal injury and amputation cases.
This role is ideal for someone who has managed their own caseload, as you will be given the opportunity to do so, along with assisting on high-value claims. Ideally, we would also look at those who have a background in handling high volume casework.
We would be looking for an individual who can be involved in the cases from the outset and will continue to be closely involved throughout their duration, giving the opportunity to understand the issues involved to enable you to assist with tasks including instructing appropriate medical experts, dealing with disclosure, proofing witnesses and preparing well-structured witness statements. We would also like those to attend conferences with clients and leading counsel, MDT and pathfinder meetings and have frequent client/family contact.
This is an exciting and exceptional opportunity for someone who would like to focus their career whilst enabling them to specialise within catastrophic injury, gaining valuable experience while doing so.
We have a team which will offer excellent paralegal and administrative support, whilst also assisting with managing relationships, which will provide time to lead client meetings and manage complex negotiations.
