Liberty is looking for a creative and strategic lawyer to join its legal team as a legal team manager. Strategic litigation is core to Liberty’s work. Their lawyers work closely with the rest of the organisation using casework and legal advice to help Liberty reach its strategic goals. You will be responsible for running a small caseload of strategic litigation, conducting interventions and providing specialist human rights advice. A large part of the role is identifying and then scoping potential cases, working closely with other organisations to develop the litigation in a collaborative and creative way.
Liberty was founded in 1934 in response to brutal police attempts to stop protests during the Hunger Marches. And for more than 90 years, Liberty and its supporters have been a force for fairness, dignity and respect in our society. They’ve stood up to fascism and racism, censorship and state surveillance. Their legal challenges have shaped laws and their campaigns have changed lives.
