You'll be working on matters that involve multiple claimants, significant volumes of medical evidence, and coordinated litigation strategy from the outset. It's an excellent opportunity for a junior solicitor who wants to move beyond general personal injury or clinical negligence work and start building specialist expertise in large-scale claimant litigation , with strong supervision and a clear development pathway.
