My client is a Top 100 firm acting nationally for a range of clients across a variety of sectors including construction, retail, leisure and manufacturing.
Their Business Defence Team acts for clients facing police or regulator investigations, the incidents ranging from fatal accidents to pollution and environmental offences, fraud and bribery. The core skill is client representation and defence in often stressful situations which could be of public or media interest.
Criminal Defence backgrounds will be considered, as the competencies and skills gained in that arena should be perfectly applicable if the candidate is wanting to switch to acting for corporate and private clients. Hopefully you'll be able to demonstrate a broad base of criminal experience including complex cases. You'll need drive and genuine enthusiasm to learn and get up to speed, but this firm can support you in that. There will be a need to attend clients, and to travel for arranged hearings and appointments but notice would be given for that.
Obviously there will be candidates out there who perhaps are already in the Regulatory arena with a commercial firm. Experience of Police, HSE, Trading Standards, Environment Agency, SFO, NCA and CQC would all be valuable. Coroners Inquest experience would be of interest too.
Solicitor or Associate level appointment will be considered so the PQE is a rough guideline only, but for team structure they're ideally not wanting to look more senior than Associate.
A great opportunity in a well run law firm to join a friendly team, with the benefits, resources and flexibility to be expected of a £125 million+ turnover business. Leeds based.
Brooke Thornham Consulting advertisements use PQE levels purely as a guide to the level of experience required for the role and this does not prohibit applications from candidates who are able to demonstrate the necessary skills and experience. We aim to respond to enquiries as soon as possible but if we have not contacted you within 5 days then unfortunately on this occasion your application has not quite met the requirements of our client closely enough.
