An opportunity has arisen for a capable, newly qualified solicitor to join this specialist criminal, fraud and regulatory practice. Candidates do not necessarily need to have criminal experience but they must have a strong intellect, a professional bearing and be comfortable operating in a highly adversarial arena.
Provided that the successful candidate performs well in the new role, the prospects for financial and career advancement will be very good indeed.
The position will involve fee earning on complex fraud and criminal cases. Depending on performance, there will also be further professional development including training for defending suspects at police stations (if not already trained in that area) and Crown Court advocacy.
The firm also deals with coroners’ inquests, regulatory matters and associated civil work such as judicial reviews and actions against public authorities. The successful candidate will be given exposure to this work and will have the opportunity to develop a very impressive range of legal and procedural knowledge.
A significant proportion of the firm’s work is privately funded. It involves conducting very high stakes litigation on behalf of clients who have valuable reputations to protect. The candidate will therefore need to perform at the highest level in order to meet those clients’ needs.
Brunskill Solicitors is a niche firm that specialises in advising businesses and professionals who are made the subject of investigations by the UK authorities. The firm has a national profile and is looking for suitable candidates to assist in its growth and development.
