Hybrid Lawyer NQ - Disease presso Thompsons Solicitors

NQ–2 PQE and looking for a new challenge? Join our Disease Team as an Assistant Lawyer, based in Manchester. 

Our Personal Injury Lawyers in the Disease Team manage their own caseload of industrial disease matters, with a focus on conditions such as respiratory diseases, repetitive strain injuries, dermatitis and other occupational illnesses. You will handle both pre- and post-litigated claims under appropriate supervision, with the opportunity to assist on more complex matters, such as cancer cases. 

This role involves full case lifecycle management from initial instruction through to settlement or trial, requiring sound legal knowledge, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to litigation strategy. The role involves the handling of disease cases which fall into the intermediate track.

You’ll work closely with experienced disease specialists, gaining valuable exposure to complex work in a collaborative environment. Your input will play a key part in meeting team targets and delivering justice for our clients.

We are looking for qualified lawyers with up to 2 years' PQE who have experience in managing disease claims.

You’ll need strong litigation skills, the ability to manage a busy caseload, and a confident, client focused manner. Familiarity with electronic case management systems, digital claims portal and an organised, deadline-driven approach are also important.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about representing workers affected by occupational illness and is keen to build their expertise in a specialist and supportive team.
