Strong team player with a flexible approach to work.
Capability to manage a diverse and interesting caseload.
Although you will be responsible for your own busy and varied caseload, there is a great team spirit and the team all support each other.
If you have experience within the motor industry that is a bonus, but more important is a positive attitude, a willingness to pitch in and sound legal experience. 

The team all currently work on a hybrid basis sharing their time between our office in the Peterborough and home, but we are currently investing in a state-of-the-art paperless system to enable remote working which could be an option for the right candidate.

This is a unique role with no time recording or billing targets.
