Proven experience drafting pleadings, witness statements, applications and other litigation documents; accuracy and attention to detail in drafting are essential.
Practical knowledge of Civil Procedure Rules, court processes and deadlines, disclosure obligations and evidence preparation; familiarity with online court platforms and e-filing is desirable.
Strong client-care and communication skills with the ability to manage expectations, explain complex legal issues clearly and maintain professional relationships with clients and third parties.
Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage a varied caseload, prioritise competing deadlines and work independently while escalating issues appropriately.
Advocacy or advocacy exposure is desirable; willingness to undertake advocacy and represent clients in hearings when required.
Experience supervising or mentoring junior staff and a commitment to supporting the development of colleagues through coaching and feedback.
