The Opportunity

We are recruiting for an NQ+ Litigation Solicitor to join a specialist military claims team in Cardiff, acting for current and former members of the Armed Forces in claims against the Ministry of Defence.

The team handles a range of military claims, with a particular focus on military deafness and non-freezing cold injuries.

This is an excellent opportunity for a claimant litigator to develop their career within a specialist and highly regarded team. This role will also require the successful candidate to assist with the supervision of a team of paralegals – so this role would be particularly suitable for solicitors looking for the opportunity to build on their management/supervision experience.

The Role

You will manage your own caseload, with responsibilities including:

• Taking initial enquiries and drafting witness evidence
• Managing disclosure and reviewing documentation
• Advising and updating clients throughout their claims
• Preparing court documents and schedules of loss
• Reviewing medical and expert evidence
• Assisting with the instruction of Counsel
• Advising on offers relating to breach of duty and quantum

About You

We are looking for a solicitor with:

• A qualified solicitor in England and Wales (NQ+ PQE)
• Previous experience of claimant litigation
• Experience managing your own caseload
• Excellent organisational and attention-to-detail skills
• Strong client care and communication skills

Previous experience of noise-induced hearing loss or military claims would be advantageous but is not essential.

What’s on Offer

• Cardiff-based role with hybrid working
• Minimum 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
• Birthday day off
• CSR days
• Pension scheme
• Death in service benefit
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Professional fees paid, subject to role requirements
