At Thompsons, you will find more than just a job—you will find a career where you can truly make a difference.
We are inviting applications to join our Industrial Disease (non-asbestos) Team in either our Glasgow or Edinburgh office. In this role, you will have the opportunity to assist individuals suffering from industrial diseases such as vibration-related injuries, noise-induced hearing loss, skin disease, and lung disease. You will be part of a supportive team and benefit from the mentorship of experienced professionals in this highly specialised field.
What the role involves:
• Caseload Management: Work collaboratively with a team of like-minded professionals on a mix of pre-litigation and litigation cases.
• Court Work: Get hands-on experience with cases in ASPIC and the Court of Session.
• Team Support: Contribute to training and mentoring trainees.
• Investigations & Statements: Conduct liability investigations and gather witness statements.
• Medical Expert Coordination: Liaise with and instruct medical experts.
• Legal Documentation: Draft a range of legal documents, including writs.
• Court Appearances: Consult with Counsel and represent clients in court.
At Thompsons, we prioritise your wellbeing. Our employee assistance and wellness programme provides support to help you succeed, both professionally and personally. In addition to working in a stimulating environment, we offer:
• A competitive salary, reflective of your experience
• Excellent pension scheme
• Hybrid working options
• Flexible working hours – this allows for flexible start and finish times around core working hours, giving greater flexibility in managing your work-life balance.
• Flexi-time – work seven additional hours in one month, which can then be taken as time off in the following month, offering flexibility in managing workloads and personal commitments.
• Ongoing training and development opportunities
• Engaging social and charitable experiences
Who we’re looking for:
• You must be able to commute to either our Glasgow or Edinburgh office (Edinburgh-based candidates must be willing to attend Glasgow for team meetings as required).
• A minimum of 1 year’s PQE is essential. Please note, trainees and NQ solicitors will not be considered.
• Experience in disease cases is highly desirable, but we will also consider candidates with a background in personal injury work.
If you are passionate about helping others and are eager to be part of a dynamic, supportive team with a common goal, we want to hear from you.
