You will attend inquest hearings, advocacy at pre-inquest review hearings and inquests, and meet with clients and witnesses to prepare for court. The position is mainly based in London, with some national travel required. The firm offers a supportive, people-first culture and genuine scope for career development and progression.

  • Qualified solicitor with 4–10 years' PQE
  • Advocacy experience and a willingness to develop advocacy skills
  • Healthcare experience and inquest experience are desirable
  • Regulatory defence experience is desirable
  • Excellent organisational, time management, collaborative and communication skills
