Maintain strong, supportive client communication throughout the life of each case.

Ensure cases progress efficiently and comply with internal, SRA, and FCA requirements where applicable.

Utilise case management systems and digital workflows effectively.

Person Specification

Demonstrated ability to manage litigated cases from start to finish

Genuine tenacity and a proactive approach.

Solid understanding of civil procedure rules and litigation trends, with the ability to apply them strategically.
