It prefers to focus on their clients satisfaction and results that their clients are happy with rather than trying to bill as much as possible on each matter and setting high targets.

If the above role sounds of interest please get in touch with Nick Skelly at QED legal or apply ASAP. Salary can be in excess of 50,000 for this position.
Any applications will be treated in the strictest of confidence and no details will be forwarded without your express permission.
