Thompsons Solicitors is seeking an experienced National Coordinator for Foreign Jurisdiction cases to lead a national team of case handlers based in the North West, ensuring the delivery of high-quality legal advice to Trade Unions, their members, and private clients. This role involves overseeing the management of the firm’s Foreign Jurisdiction cases handled by the team, devising policies, systems, and best practices for case handling, and driving efficient and cost-effective processes that maximise damages and costs.
