• Drafting court documents including pleadings, statements of claim, and briefs
• Preparing high quality written advice and legal documentation
• Liaising with barristers, experts, insurers, and clients
• Managing the full carriage files with strong organisational discipline
• Supporting and mentoring junior team members

What Sets This Role Apart

• Autonomy with support – run your own matters while still having access to strong mentorship
• Lean team structure – no being lost in layers; your contribution is visible and valued
• Quality work – a broad mix of commercial disputes to build depth and versatility
• Career progression – genuine opportunity to step up and take on more responsibility

About You
