Litigation Executive

Job Type : Contract, Full Time

Salary : £115 – £130/day

What’s the role?
Our client, a forward-thinking law firm, are currently seeking to recruit Litigation Executives to join their growing team. The successful candidates will be given exposure to end-to-end litigation of Plevin cases initially, with a focus on managing cases from receipt of defence through to settlement, with the option of acting as an advocate for clients in court hearings (training to be given).
You will be required to undertake bulk-style litigation as part of a team and will run a caseload of approximately 250 cases, which will be predominately small claims track matters, at any one time. You will be responsible for the case from the time the defence is received through to settlement with OPS with assistance from various teams including client contact teams and a team of negotiators. It is essential that your experience can reflect this.
We are looking for litigators who can demonstrate an extremely high level of accuracy and compliance in dealing with Court Orders, specifically directions, and responding to OPS correspondence in line with defined Court deadlines and/or accepted industry norms.
A key part of the role, whilst not the most time consuming, will be maintaining contact with the client and providing the client with regular and periodic updates – this may be by phone, WhatsApp, SMS, and/or email.
This is the perfect opportunity for someone with experience in high volume litigation who is motivated to get ahead in their career and learn about a new field in the claims litigation space with ample room for progression.
Salary offered will be dependent on demonstrable ability to manage the required caseload.
