Apply in confidence →

Join a national Specialist Liability team handling complex civil claims against police and other public bodies, including false imprisonment, misconduct, Human Rights breaches and related public-liability matters. The role offers responsibility for a varied caseload of pre-litigation and litigated claims, with opportunities to expand into abuse, discrimination, deprivations of liberty, misfeasance and inquest work.

The team operates on a hybrid basis across multiple offices in England & Wales; remote-based candidates will be considered. You will draft court documents, manage disclosure of sensitive material, proof witnesses, attend conferences and trials (with counsel), and provide commercially aware, client-facing advice.

  • 1–8 years PQE in civil litigation (police/public-body claims strongly preferred)
  • Practical knowledge of false imprisonment, Human Rights Act and PACE
  • Proven litigation experience including preparing defences through to trial
  • Ability to handle factually and legally complex cases, manage sensitive disclosure and proof witnesses
  • Comfortable working collaboratively in a hybrid environment and meeting chargeable hour expectations
