Solicitor Team Leader - Personal Injury / Contested Litigation - 4+ PQE

There are plenty of senior PI roles where "leadership" really means carrying a big caseload while occasionally helping the person sitting next to you. This isn''t one of them.

They are ideally looking around the 4-6 year PQE mark, although they are much more interested in the quality and breadth of your experience than whether you have previously had "Team Leader" written on your business card.
