Sheffield, United Kingdom Irwin Mitchell LLP Full time
Law Costs Draftsman (Costs Budgeting) (4014)

We’re a national law firm with a local reach. Our philosophy is ‘Expert Hand, Human Touch’ – something you’ll find in the way we work with our clients and how we support our teams. But, we’re more than just a law firm – we’re a team, working together to help individuals and businesses navigate life’s ups and downs.

Whichever team you join, working here you’ll feel a part of our friendly and inclusive environment. We’ll value you for who you are and what you bring. We support each other and push boundaries to achieve incredible things, and make a real difference to our clients and communities.

The work we do has been recognised in the awards we’ve won. We’re committed to being even better, and our awards help to show we’re on the right track.

We recognise that the office 9-5 isn’t for everyone. That’s why we’ve introduced ‘Flexible by Choice’. Whether it’s working from home, in our offices, or a combination of the both, we trust each other to support our clients, colleagues and communities at the right time, in the right way.

Your Role and What You'll Be Doing

  • Be responsible for preparing budgets and related work including, but not limited to, undertaking negotiations with opponents as necessary on Precedent R documents, preparing statements of issues agreed and not agreed, preparing budget comparison documents and other supporting documents, preparing Precedent T documents and supporting internal clients to apply for updated budgets as required. 
  • Have good communication skills. The role includes obtaining instructions from internal clients on all multi-track case types for the projection of future costs to be incurred to Trial. It will be necessary to liaise with our internal clients for the preparation of the ‘Costs Budget’.
  • Liaise with internal advocates or Counsel attending Costs Case Management Conferences and should be capable of being able to converse confidently regarding the contents of the ‘Costs Budget’ prepared.
  • Whilst not essential for the role, for the right candidate we would potentially look to develop your skillset (as required) to undertake advocacy at CCMCs in relation to the `Costs Budget` elements of the hearings.
  • Be involved in ensuring data is maintained for the work undertaken in the way of fully particularised personal time recording, maintaining ‘Costs Budget’ data on the firms internal systems and following the internal processes developed for ‘Costs Budget’ preparation and ‘Negotiations’.
About You
  • Experience either in house or for an external supplier of Costs.
  • Basic knowledge of legal procedures.
  • Experience in one or more legal departments.
  • Be able to work in a pressurised and stressful environment.
  • A flexible approach enabling you to respond to rapid changes in working schedules and priorities.
  • Ability to communicate clearly with stakeholders across the business.
  • Desirable financial or legal qualifications e.g.: ILEX Part 1 Year 1
  • Desirable Financial or law degree

We’re proud of our values, and we’re looking for people who share them:

  • To be pioneering with an imaginative outlook
  • To be approachable and caring
  • To be tenacious in the pursuit of our objectives
  • To be efficient in the provision of our services
  • To work with a foundation of integrity.
Our Benefits - What We Can Offer You
  • 25 days annual leave, with the opportunity to buy additional leave
  • Two fundraising days in a year to give back to the community (fully paid)
  • Westfield Health membership, offering discounted leisure and travel and refunds on medical services

We also offer a huge number of well-being initiatives to encourage positive mental health both in and out of the workplace as well as flexible working options to ensure that you are fully supported to work the way that best suits you. Our social responsibility programme is fundamental to who we are. We’re committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace where our colleagues can flourish. We have a range of groups to celebrate our people across sexuality, disability, age, gender and culture. 

We welcome applications from all diversity groups and backgrounds. We’re committed to enabling everyone to thrive and understanding and celebrating our differences is a key part of that. We’re proud of our work on the Disability Confident scheme, on the Race At Work Charter and as Stonewall Diversity Champions. We also have a range of networks for LGBT+, disability, generations, gender, social mobility, ethnicity, faith and culture to celebrate our people and to enable everyone to thrive.
