You may also be expected to undertake claims administration, debt recovery work and ad hoc miscellaneous legal advice.

The Skills:
We are looking for a qualified solicitor with circa 4 years PQE and relevant practical experience but all applicants with suitable experience are welcome to apply. You will have utilised your analytic skills and strong attention to detail when analysing and drafting contracts and other legal documents. You have excellent verbal and written communication skills.
