- Experience handling a caseload of CoP work, ideally including deputyship and complex client needs
- Grade A or Grade B fee earner status
- Experience mentoring or supervising junior lawyers
- Compassionate, collaborative, and highly organised
What you’ll be doing
- Manage your own caseload of Court of Protection files
- Act as a point of support and guidance for junior lawyers and paralegals
- Work collaboratively with colleagues across the team and wider firm
- Deliver high levels of client service and demonstrate strong technical knowledge
- Get involved in growing the department and supporting future recruitment
