Law Costs Draftsman

2 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom Irwin Mitchell Full time

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**

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced ambitious individual to join a growing national team.

You’ll be involved in the preparation of Bills of Costs for Detailed/Provisional Assessment as well as litigation of bills through the Court process.

You may be involved in advocacy at Court if required and as agreed with the Costs Partner.

Part of your role will give you the opportunity to lead a team of around 5 members and you’ll also be involved in the training of Trainee Law Costs Draftsmen.

Ideally, you’ll have minimum one year experience working either in house or for an external supplier of costs drafting services. Ideally this is a Sheffield based role; however, we’re keen to accommodate what’s best for you, so we are open to discussions about remote working.

**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.

**Additional Information**

As part of the Irwin Mitchell Group’s on-boarding process all successful applicants are required to complete the group’s employment screening process. This process helps to ensure that all new employees meet our standards in relation to honesty and integrity therefore protecting the interests of the Group, existing employees, clients, partners and other stakeholders.

The employment screening process will fully comply with Data Protection and other applicable laws.
