Are you a skilled Barrister looking to take your career to the next level? Whether you're coming from chambers, employed bar, or civil litigation background, we have a fantastic opportunity for you to join our dynamic advocacy team.

Why Join Us?

At our firm, we believe in fostering talent and providing opportunities for growth. You'll be working with a successful and rapidly growing company, led by solicitor-owner managers, who are dedicated to making a difference. As the third in-house barrister, you’ll have a key role in shaping the future of our advocacy department, alongside our Head of Advocacy.

The Role: In this exciting position, you’ll represent claimants in trials across England and Wales, handling a variety of fast-track cases with opportunities to get involved in multi-track litigation. You’ll also:

• Represent clients at CMCs, CCMCs, Interim Hearings, Stage 3 Hearings, and other advocacy matters in personal injury litigation.
• Draft legal documents such as pleadings, skeleton arguments, and formal advice.
• Stay up-to-date with procedural changes, case law, and legislative developments.
• Offer guidance to junior advocates and contribute to the team’s high standards of service.

Who We’re Looking For:

• A motivated, independent barrister with a passion for advocacy.
• Someone with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, who thrives under pressure and has meticulous attention to detail.
• You should be knowledgeable in Civil Procedure Rules and have demonstrable advocacy experience.
• Personal injury experience is a bonus, but we are open to speaking with candidates from wider litigation backgrounds.

Location: Ideally, you’ll be based in the North West or within a commutable distance to the South of England. This role involves extensive travel across England and Wales, so flexibility and a willingness to stay overnight when needed are essential.

Whats on Offer:

• Competitive Salary: Based on experience.
• Flexible Working: 3/2 hybrid working pattern after probation.
• Generous Holidays: 28 days holiday, with the option to buy up to 3 additional days per year, and an extra day off for your birthday after 2 years of service!
• Health & Wellness: Private medical insurance after 2 years, annual flu jab, free fruit, and more!
• Employee Perks: Death in service (2x salary), active social committee, netball/football teams, firm-wide events, and enhanced maternity leave after 1 year.
• Professional Development: We are committed to ongoing training and development, with a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusion.

If you're ready to join a forward-thinking, supportive, and inclusive firm where your skills and experience will be valued, we want to hear from you! Apply now and take the next step in your advocacy career.
