Centre for Women’s Justice is seeking two feminist solicitors to join their litigation team and help use the law strategically to hold the state to account for violence against women and girls.
You will develop and manage a varied caseload of civil and public law cases involving holding criminal justice agencies and other public authorities to account. Your role may also involve some public inquiry work. You will provide excellent, trauma-informed client care and contribute to CWJ’s wider litigation strategy, partnerships, and policy work.
Depending on your experience, the role may also include supervising and line-managing junior members of the legal team.
This is an opportunity to undertake ambitious strategic litigation within a collaborative feminist organisation and to help secure wider legal and systemic change for women subjected to male violence.
*Women-only: because this role involves direct work with victims and survivors of sexual violence, it is a genuine occupational requirement that the role is carried out by a woman. The Genuine Occupational Requirement exemption under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010 applies.
