With a new Liverpool city centre office recently opened and an established Wigan base, this is an excellent time to join a business in genuine growth mode.

• Progressing claims efficiently within a high-volume but structured environment
• Liaising with clients and internal teams to ensure smooth case progression

Candidate Requirements

The firm is seeking:

• Qualified Solicitors or CILEX / Chartered Legal Executives
• Experience in debt recovery or civil litigation (NQ+)
• Ability to manage a caseload independently with good organisation and time management
• A proactive and commercially minded approach

Team & Culture

You will join a modern, commercially driven law firm with a strong reputation in debt recovery litigation and long-standing national client relationships.

• Collaborative and supportive team structure
• Strong leadership and training framework
• Clear career progression pathways
• Hybrid working model following probation (typically 1–2 days WFH)
• Flexible approach depending on candidate experience and autonomy
