Full job description

Why join us?:

Our Police, Care and Justice team is currently seeking a Solicitor (NQ–2 years PQE) or an experienced Paralegal/Legal Executive to join the team.

The team specialises in a range of niche areas, including Civil Litigation, Healthcare Advisory, and representation at Inquests and Public Inquiries.

As a Solicitor, you will join the Police Malfeasance Civil Claims sub-team, handling claims on behalf of police forces across the UK.

This role offers the opportunity to work on sensitive and often high-profile matters, within a team that has seen sustained success and growth over the past 12 years. It presents excellent scope for development within a unique and highly specialised area of law.

DWF is a global legal business, committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where individuals are empowered to be themselves and achieve their full potential in line with their career aspirations.

The role is offered on a hybrid basis, with attendance required in our Manchester or London office 1–2 days per week. There will also be opportunities for national travel to attend court hearings and client meetings.

Responsibilities:

Manage a caseload of civil claims on behalf of police forces across the UK.
Assist senior solicitors on complex, sensitive and high-profile matters.
Defend a broad range of claims, including employer’s liability (EL), public liability (PL), personal injury, false imprisonment, assault and negligence.
Support on cases involving data protection, the Equality Act, the Human Rights Act and judicial review.
Contribute to the preparation and handling of complex Article 2 inquests and public inquiries.
Work collaboratively as part of the wider Police, Care and Justice team to deliver high-quality legal services to public and private sector clients.
Maintain a high standard of client service when working with a diverse client base.
Ensure all work is handled efficiently and in line with client expectations, particularly where matters are sensitive or high profile.
Actively engage in training and development opportunities to build expertise within this specialist area of litigation.
Contribute to the continued growth and success of a well-established and expanding team.

What will help you succeed in this role? :

Essential

Demonstrable experience in civil litigation, with a strong understanding of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR).
Ability to manage a varied caseload with appropriate supervision, while supporting senior colleagues on more complex matters.
Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise effectively and meet strict deadlines.
Excellent attention to detail and a high standard of written and verbal communication.
A proactive and collaborative approach, with the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
Confidence to use own initiative and take ownership of tasks.
A genuine enthusiasm for litigation and a willingness to develop technical expertise through ongoing training and support.

Desirable

An interest in, or exposure to, police claims work (desirable, not essential as full training will be provided).

What we offer?:

We are committed to ensuring that each member of our team feels valued and duly rewarded during their time at DWF.

We are an equal opportunities employer that celebrates diversity, and we are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all. We aim to create a positive experience for all candidates and offer any adjustments or additional support needed. If you're excited about the opportunity but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with all the requirements, please apply anyway. You may be the right candidate for the role or others across the wider team.

About us:

DWF is a leading global provider of integrated legal and business services. Our approach delivers efficiency, price certainty and transparency for our clients across the world without compromising on quality or service. Our purpose is to deliver positive outcomes with our colleagues, clients and communities and we foster a culture that places our colleagues at the centre of all that we do.
