The role includes litigation, case management, direct client interaction, and opportunities to develop an independent caseload. Candidates should demonstrate strong organization, judgment, client care, and litigation experience in civil courts or tribunals.

Are you a Lawyer or Legal Executive looking for the next step in your career? Our Employment Rights Equal Pay team is expanding, and we’re looking for a new colleague to join us in either our Manchester or Liverpool office.
The role...

As a valued team member, you’ll play an integral role in achieving team goals and delivering excellent outcomes for clients.

Key areas of legal specialism include: personal injury, serious injury, asbestos diseases, medical negligence, road traffic accidents, accidents at work, industrial diseases and trade union law. As a point of principle, the firm has never worked for employers or insurers.Over the last 100 years, we have consistently won the cases that have advanced the law for working people, but, as long as there are employers who put profit before the safety and rights of their workforce, there is always more to do.
