Miller Grace are working with a well-established Legal 500 Law Firm in South Manchester who is looking to expand their OL/PL team with the addition of an experienced Fee Earner.
We are keen to speak with fee earners from a variety of backgrounds, provided you have EL/PL experience and a genuine interest in developing within an OL/PL environment. The client is open to candidates who have 1 years experience handling a litigated EL/PL caseload either as a solicitor, CILEX qualified, or those who are qualified by experience.
