Salary

£35-£40k (DOE) per annum

Job Type

Full Time

Barings Law is a busy multi-disciplinary legal practice based in Manchester city centre.

We provide professional, personalised services for private and commercial clients. Established in 2009, we are steadily building a reputation as one of the city’s leading law firms.

Our combined areas of specialism mean that Barings Law is qualified to provide high-quality legal advice and guidance for consumers and corporate clients.

Our areas of practice include – but are not limited to – cases of financial mis-selling, business interruption insurance, personal injury, consumer rights and group litigation, data breaches and data misuse, bank fraud, commercial litigation, bankruptcy and winding-up petitions.

We also provide immigration services and help with applications for those looking to visit, work or study in the UK.

We are looking to recruit an experienced litigation file handler for our Business Interruption team, based at Barings’ head office in Manchester.

The successful candidate will handle business interruption claims for our clients while also acting as the key point of contact for all aspects of litigation. The successful candidate will manage a litigated caseload alongside working with the rest of the business interruption team by planning, co-ordinating and progressing all litigation activity, providing supervisory and technical guidance for more junior members of the team and being the first point of contact for Counsel and all external suppliers.

Ideally, you will have experience in this area and be eager to take on more responsibility to progress your career. You must be able to work closely with supervisors and partners, as well as colleagues within the firm, on a range of cases.

We offer full training and ongoing support for our colleagues and provide a great working environment as well as good prospects for future development within the business.

If you are looking to further your career in law at a progressive, welcoming firm, apply today with your CV and a brief covering letter.
