• A person with in-depth knowledge of personal injury laws and legal procedures
• Exceptional communication and negotiation skills
• Excellent research, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• Empathetic approach towards clients
• A good understanding of GDPR and Anti-Money Laundering
• A motivated individual willing to work with and learn from an experienced specialist team of solicitors

What you'll do

• Deal with your own mixed caseload
• Assess each case with the assistance of a senior member of the team and make a decision whether or not to proceed
• Interview clients, witnesses, and medical professionals to obtain relevant information and testimonies
• Analyze complex legal documents, including medical records, police reports, and insurance policies
• Compassionately communicate with clients
• Quantify personal injury and clinical negligence claims
