Associate (Professional Negligence)

2 weeks ago

Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom DAS UK Group Full time

About The Role:

***These are exciting times at DAS Law, where we are going through a period of sustained growth across our litigation teams. This is a great time to join a hard-working and friendly group of around 50 lawyers who together make up the Complex Litigation unit at DAS Law. We are now seeking an Associate who is keen to manage a varied caseload of mainly claimant based professional negligence matters across a range of professions, acting on behalf of both individuals and business clients.

Why us?
DAS Law has a unique and compelling business model which sets us apart from other mid
- sized firms.

The insurance arm of DAS underwrites legal expenses insurance and has millions of customers across the UK.

When customers face a legal problem, whether a contract, property, employment or personal injury dispute, their legal cover gives them access to a panel of skilled lawyers to help resolve those disputes.

DAS Law sits at the heart of that panel, and therefore benefits from a steady influx of cases every year from the insurance group.

In 2022 we took over 800 cases into the complex litigation teams alone.

Only a stone's throw from Bristol Temple Meads station, we have newly refurbished and modern city centre offices.

Our staff are at the heart of everything we do, and we support flexible working options, and are happy to discuss part-time hours for these opportunities.


In addition to a steady supply of high-quality litigation from the DAS Insurance Group, we offer a highly competitive benefits package including a generous pension, group income and legal protection and a host of products aimed at wellbeing, including weekly exercise classes, a Sports and Social club and discounted gym memberships.


More about the team:


Headed up by Laura Loney, you will join a highly skilled and supportive team specialising in intermediate and multi-track professional negligence claims as well as ancillary claims arising from these cases including property misrepresentation claims.

The team also sometimes deals with wider commercial litigation cases as and when demand requires this. The professional negligence team sits within the larger Complex Litigation unit headed up by a partner, Will Ellerton.

As a team we are passionate and enthusiastic about what we do.

There is a genuine commitment to giving our people early responsibility and you will regularly run cases from inception to ADR or trial and oversee others doing the same.


About You:

***Previous professional negligence experience from either a claimant or defendant perspective is advantageous, but not essential. The role requires a good grasp of the Civil Procedure Rules as well as the applicable pre-action protocols and experience of resolving cases via mediation and other forms of ADR. We are looking for high levels of client care and an ability to advise on technically complex matters in a clear and understandable format. Alongside professional negligence cases, the team deals with a significant number of property misrepresentation claims. Experience of this case type is also helpful although not essential as training will be given.

AT DAS we encourage our people to work flexibly and achieve a work-life balance that works for them.

In return for your commitment we will offer you generous remuneration and a benefits package to include:
25 days holiday with the option to buy up to a further 5 days
Company pension scheme with the option to increase contributions
Group Income Protection for all employees
Group Legal Protection for all employees
A choice of either European Motor Assistance or Home Emergency Assistance
Salary sacrifice benefits including Cycle scheme
A comprehensive wellbeing programme including an employee Health Cash Plan
Access to our employee discounts hub offering exclusive discounts across thousands of retail partners, including discounted gym memberships at over 3,000 gyms across the UK
The option to join our Sports and Social club which organises discounted events such as theatre visits, wine tasting and shopping trips

_ If you think you would be a good match for this role and can demonstrate some transferable experience please apply, regardless of whether you meet all the criteria listed above._
