London, Greater London, United Kingdom Winckworth Sherwood LLP Full time

As a Legal Costs Specialist at Winckworth Sherwood LLP, you will be responsible for handling a cost claim case load and providing advice on all costs law issues to the various litigious departments across the firm. This role requires frequent litigation work, making it essential to have proven negotiating skills.

A successful candidate will have experience of fixed costs or negotiating and settling more complex files at a reputable law firm. In return, this role offers the opportunity to work with some of the City's most talented litigation lawyers on complex, intellectually stimulating work.

The estimated salary for this position is around £65,000-£80,000 per annum, considering the location in London and the level of expertise required. The role reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer within the firm's central team.

About You

We are looking for someone who has a passion for data and the ability to create concise reports and written submissions. You will also enjoy the forward planning involved in building a budget for case costs and thinking laterally about contingencies and forecasting.

This role would suit an individual with experience in handling their own case load of costs claims, including negotiation of disrepair claims within the Land Tribunal. As part of our team, you will work with clients ranging from large businesses and institutions to private individuals, all benefiting from our flexible, practical approach.

What We Offer

You will have the opportunity to meet our COO during the interview process, which will be held in person at our London office. If selected, you will join a dynamic team of litigator partners working on complex cases.
