Description
Bolton , Central London , Cardiff , Coventry , Greater London, Essex, Preston
1. We are a non-profit legal office that represents individuals and companies from around England and Wales
2. We have already established a loose network of solicitor agents but are now looking to expand into the regional areas as set out above but not limited to them. An applicant can be from an area close to the suggested areas.
3. This process of building an agent network of locum solicitors with a practising certificate who have knowledge of magistrate courts practice, to appear at court approximately one to four times per month is on-going and expanding. The attendance will vary on how many billing authorities (local council’s) use a particular magistrate court .
4. The role will initially be to attend and put to the bench that the summons proceedings in the application for a liability order is defended; this will apply for rates cases (non-domestic) mainly but also for council tax cases (domestic rates). Thereafter if the solicitor wishes they will be retained on the case working for our office; some cases do go to the High Court and Court of Appeal .
5. If the applicant does not have a current practising certificate we will be able to discuss other options and roles or potentially assistance with fees to obtain a certificate.
6. The successful applicant will be required for insurance purposes to advise the SRA that they will be a locum but will be giving no legal advice to the members of the public.
7. We would like to agree a flat fee per case with and it may be that there will be from one to five cases per appearance.
