Your main duties will include:

- Assisting the team with dealing with a wide range of litigation cases with a focus on commercial and employment-related litigation.
- Regularly update clients as to the current situation of their case including regular updates on costs.
- Attending court and conducting advocacy on behalf of clients or instructing counsel where appropriate.
- Be involved with business development activities organised by the department or office.
- Identify and follow up new business opportunities.
- Delegate appropriate work to solicitors / paralegals / trainee legal executives and supervise the completion of the work.
