An ideal role for Defendant Personal Injury Solicitor ready to step up into Catastrophic Injury work, or a Claimant Solicitor looking to make the move to a top-tier defendant practice. The idea for the role is to have the successful candidate progress to Legal Director.

  • Managing your own caseload of Catastrophic Injury files
  • Supporting senior fee earners on significant, high-value catastrophic claims
  • Conducting liability investigations, policy coverage reviews, and quantum assessments
  • Mentoring junior team members and contributing to their development
  • Building strong relationships with longstanding clients and helping grow new ones

Requirements:

  • Previous defendant personal injury experience (Catastrophic Injury not essential)
  • OR claimant solicitors looking to transition into defendant work
  • Confident, client-focused approach with excellent communication skills
What we offer:
  • Salary up to £65,000 DOE + bonus
  • Hybrid working (2 days in office / 3 from home)
