In the role, you’ll be work on a varied caseload of Grace C/D deputyships arising from personal injury or clinical negligence claims (pre- and post-settlement), and from the OPG panel and local authority. You’ll work with experts in the field, supporting and protecting your clients’ needs on a wide range of issues, including financial planning, management of their funds, assets, property and care arrangements.

This Top 100 firm is accredited by Investors in People and has been named as one of The Sunday Times’ Best Companies to Work For – and it’s easy to see why.
