They pride themselves on providing a high level of customer service and understand how an injury can have an impact on clients' day-to-day lives.
Over decades of success, the department has received recognition from numerous legal institutions, including a 2025 Legal 500 Top Tier ranking, Chambers and Partners Band 1 ranking, and the Corporate Supporter Award at the inaugural Child Brain Injury Trust Diamond Awards, for our ongoing support and fundraising for the charity.
The Team:
Our specialist team has many years of experience working with military personnel who are serving, veteran or reservist, to ensure that they get the compensation they deserve whether an injury is caused by service or in an off duty incident.

About you:
To succeed in this role, you will be a Qualified Solicitor and able to demonstrate:
- Experience working with vulnerable clients and a tactful approach to guiding them through sensitive matters
- Experience with military claims work, including Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) claims and/or Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) would be preferred, however training can be provided to the right candidate
