Validity is seeking an experienced lawyer specialised in disability rights litigation to join
our team. Across Validity’s European portfolio, the lawyer will help identify where
litigation has the potential to advance Validity’s strategic objectives and manage cases to
achieve that change. The Litigation Officer will work closely with national lawyers who
represent our clients in courts, providing support, setting strategy, agreeing arguments
and drafting international submissions so as to ensure strategic impact. A key
component of the role includes identifying and capitalising on opportunities to compel
implementation of judgments at national, regional and international levels.
The Litigation Officer will have a sound knowledge of litigation processes in at least one
European jurisdiction and be able to adapt this knowledge in a flexible manner to diverse
contexts. S/he will be able to manage litigation partnerships in a collaborative manner
with minimal supervision to achieve specified strategic objectives. S/he will be adept at
translating a broad vision for change into concrete actions, keeping the bigger picture in
sight, and adapting work swiftly and decisively when necessary.
