Deliver high-quality work in line with audit standards
Act as a peer review and sign-off point for litigation referrals
Collaborate closely with colleagues to achieve team targets and contribute to a positive, high-performing culture

We're seeking a skilled litigator with strong technical knowledge and a collaborative approach.

Essential Experience & Skills:

Qualified solicitor / Litigation Executive / Proven experience in this area
Solid understanding of the Road Traffic Act, RTA insurers, and Article 75

Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
Calm and resilient under pressure, with strong attention to detail
Confident using case management systems and IT tools

Who You Are

Positive, professional, and solutions-focused
A clear communicator who builds effective relationships
Highly organised, with excellent time management
Adaptable and proactive in a changing environment
Committed to delivering high-quality outcomes every time
