Job Description
About the Job
We are pleased to present this unique opportunity to join a leading defendant insurance firm based in Birmingham.
NQ Solicitor - Local Authority Defence – Up to £38,000
The Role
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an award-winning and top tier firm, allowing you to develop your career and hone your skills in a supportive and forward-thinking environment.
The firm is recognised across the country for its outstanding client care and high-quality work within the Insurance sphere. Due to the development and expansion of the firm’s Casualty Law offering, it is now seeking to appoint a NQ Solicitor to work alongside existing partners, whilst running a small caseload of your own.

* Ability to work to deadlines/targets, to prioritise and manage a varied caseload
* Ability to work well as part of a team and on your own initiative
