My client are the largest dept in the firm -they should be 13 fully staffed and their plan is to expand, X2.!!

The majority of thier case load is high value brain injury clients - it is very niche in terms of CoP work and the work is varied.

The team also manage personal injury trusts, so if someone has experience in this area, they may want to get into court of protection work.
