Your new firm Our client is a respected national law firm known for its specialist expertise in claimant litigation and its long-standing commitment to supporting individuals seeking justice. The firm acts for service personnel and veterans across the UK, providing high-quality legal advice in cases involving preventable military injuries.

The team prides itself on collaboration, innovative thinking and a clear mission: ensuring service men and women receive the specialist representation they deserve. Your new role This is an excellent opportunity to join a specialist Military team handling a varied and rewarding caseload.

You will be confident in handling technical medical and expert evidence, and you will bring a collaborative, positive attitude with a willingness to support junior team members.
