Join our Complex Litigation Team as a Paralegal with a focus on Litigation. This is a fantastic opportunity to work with cases involving road traffic accident (RTA) claims up to £25,000, as well as Fatality, Bankruptcy, and Capacity claims. These cases require excellent client care, technical skills, and sensitivity. This is an exciting, fee-earning position where you’ll have the autonomy to manage your own portfolio of Part 7 litigated RTA claims. You’ll dive into cases that present complex factual or legal challenges, guiding them from the initial letter of claim, through the intricacies of dropping out from the OIC/MOJ portal (whether due to complexity or value), all the way to issuing under Part 7 or making applications to transfer files from Part 8 to Part 7. From around the six-month mark to limitation and up to trial, you’ll be instrumental in steering each case towards a successful outcome for our clients.
