Full job description

Description

We are seeking an Assistant Lawyer to join our team, managing a caseload of straightforward fast track ex portal accident cases, including Employers’ Liability and Public Liability matters. This role can be based in Dagenham, Birmingham, Liverpool or Newcastle.

The role...

Our Assistant Lawyers manage a full caseload of fast track ex portal accident cases (EL, PL), ensuring all aspects of each matter are handled from initiation through to conclusion. You will identify cases that require transfer within the wider branch network due to value, specialist nature or complexity.

The role involves exercising sound judgement in day to day case decisions, with appropriate supervision, and managing matters in line with court directions. This includes issuing and serving proceedings, responding to defences, dealing with interim applications and progressing claims through to Trial where necessary.

Who we are looking for...

We are keen to hear from experienced lawyers with a strong understanding of personal injury law, the CPR, rules on evidence, litigation processes and funding. You should have experience handling fast track EL and PL personal injury claims and be comfortable running a caseload independently, with the ability to assess and advise on evidence, liability and quantum.

As clear and consistent communication throughout the litigation journey is central to the role, you will be proactive, empathetic and able to build and maintain strong working relationships.

What we offer you...

Contributory pension scheme
Permanent health insurance
Healthcare Cash Plan (Medicash)
Life assurance
25 days annual leave (in addition to bank holidays)
5 days additional leave over Christmas
Employee Assistance Programme
Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
Cycle to work scheme
Subsidised sports and social club
Annual travel and parking loans
Financial assistance for professional development

About Thompsons Solicitors

For 100 years, leading social justice law firm, Thompsons Solicitors, has been fighting for the rights of the injured and mistreated and changing lives for the better. Since 1921, we have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with trade unions to implement key legal reforms and give a voice to those who might otherwise have been disadvantaged and marginalised.

Thompsons ran:

the case that established the right for injured workers to be compensated in 1937
the first asbestos case that was successful in the House of Lords in 1972
the first equal pay for equal value claim in the UK (1988) and later in Europe (1993)
the case against UK construction companies for blacklisting union members in 2016
hundreds of cases on behalf of women who received negligent treatment at the hands of disgraced breast surgeon, Ian Paterson (2017) and behalf of those injured by mesh (2019).

Today, Thompsons employs 800 staff who work at 18 offices right across the UK. 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. We continue to expose injustice, holding those responsible to account and campaigning for positive change.

We want to hear from anyone who is keen to progress a legal career with a firm that won’t let up in its quest for fairness.
