Solicitor (0–3 PQE) – Casualty Police Claims
Location: Liverpool OR Manchester (2 days in the office)
Are you looking to take on high-profile, complex and meaningful work? Our client’s Emergency Services team is one of the largest in the UK, specialising in advising and representing police forces nationwide.
We are recruiting for a Solicitor (0–3 PQE) to join the national Casualty Police Claims team. This is a rare opportunity to work exclusively with police forces, handling sensitive, high-value and sometimes high-profile cases.
The Role
* Manage your own caseload of pre-litigated and litigated civil claims, including malfeasance cases (false imprisonment, trespass, malicious prosecution, Human Rights Act claims) and employer’s liability claims.
* Act on behalf of police forces, claims handlers and insurers.
* Support client development through training and networking opportunities.
* Mentor junior colleagues and assist senior fee earners.
* Attend hearings and conduct your own advocacy where appropriate.
About You
* Qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive (0–3 years’ PQE).
* Experience defending civil claims preferred, though claimant experience will also be considered.
* Strong knowledge of CPR and litigation; police law knowledge is desirable but not essential.
* Excellent communication, organisation and time management skills.
* Confident in working independently and as part of a team.
* Flexible and willing to travel.
This is an opportunity to join a market-leading team working on some of the most significant police legal cases in recent years. Please apply within for immediate consideration.
