Talent Acquisition Manager at KP Law | Legal Talent Specialist

About Us

KP Law has one of the most experienced group action and multi-claimant legal teams in England and Wales.

We have represented tens of thousands of workers and consumers, and we are used to standing up to large, well‑funded organisations. Indeed, with extensive experience in complicated litigation, and all the resources we need, we are ready to go head‑to‑head with deep‑pocket defendants which other law firms shy away from.

Commercially savvy, we also take a strategic approach to everything we do, and we don’t take on a case unless we believe we can win. Indeed, we are so confident in this that our clients don’t pay us a penny unless we succeed.

KP Law was shortlisted for Law Firm of the Year at the 2022 LexisNexis Legal Awards. This follows our 2021 success where we were shortlisted in the ‘Independent Law Firm of the Year’ and ‘Strategic Legal Operations Team of the Year’ categories at The British Legal Awards, and the ‘Disputes Boutique Firm of the Year’ category at The Lawyer Awards.
