Description
We're a national law firm with a local reach. Our philosophy is 'Expert Hand, Human Touch' – something you'll find in the way we work with our clients and how we support our teams. But we're more than just a law firm – we're a team of people working together to help individuals and businesses navigate life's ups and downs. Working here you'll feel a part of our friendly and inclusive environment.
We'll value you for who you are and what you bring. We support each other and push boundaries to achieve incredible things and make a real difference to our clients and communities.
We're always looking to support our colleagues in working in a way that best works for them. Please speak to one of our Talent Acquisition Team to find out more information about our flexible working arrangements.
Your Role and What You'll Be Doing
The Court of Protection is the judicial body responsible for making decisions relating to the management of finances and other affairs of those individuals who lack the mental capacity to do so themselves. As one of the UK's leading firms of solicitors, we have a dedicated and experienced team who specialise in all matters relating to the Court of Protection.
You'll join Partner Louisa Chadwick, a specialist in the field of damages management. Louisa specialises in all areas of mental capacity and Court of Protection work with a primary focus on dealing with high value deputyships, as well as personal injury Trusts. She has extensive experience of supporting vulnerable clients and providing advice to lay clients and professionals in this niche and specialised area of law.
This is a Southampton based role, and there will be a requirement to be in the office for a minimum of two days per week.
You'll be leading a team with a high level of accountability. You'll be hands on with business development activity and leading on client work. You'll understand litigation processes and be able to work alongside our Personal Injury Litigation team and Court of Protection team. You'll support Partners to grow the business and deliver excellent client service whilst undertaking high value and/or complex work within court of Protection.
Your role will involve:
We also offer a wide range of well-being initiatives to encourage positive mental health both in and out of the workplace and to make sure you're fully supported to work in a way that best suits you. This includes our Flexible by Choice programme which gives our colleagues more choice over how they wish to work subject to role and client requirements.
We have recently been ranked in the Best Workplaces for Wellbeing for Large Organisations for 2023
Our responsible business programmes are fundamental to who we are and our purpose. We're committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace where our colleagues can flourish, and we have established a number of inclusion network groups across our business to support this aim.
Our commitment to Social Responsibility, community investment activity and tackling climate change is a fundamental part of who we are. It's made up of four strands: Our People, Our Community, Our Environment and Our Pro Bono.
