Serious Injury Lawyer

As a Lawyer in our Serious Injury Team, you will assist on a varied caseload of high-value personal injury claims, typically worth in excess of £1m. These include serious orthopaedic injuries, spinal and brain injuries, amputations, and complex polytrauma injury cases, often arising from road traffic collisions, accidents at work, or public liability incidents. There may be opportunity to run a small caseload of multi-track brain injury cases in addition to the primary role of assisting on high value cases. You will assist on files from instruction to resolution, advising on litigation strategy, liaising directly with clients, experts, and other stakeholders, and progressing cases toward settlement or trial. You will also provide guidance and support to junior lawyers, contributing to the overall development and strength of the team.

We are seeking a qualified solicitor or legal executive with litigation rights, ideally with experience in serious injury litigation and a proven track record of running multi-track cases or assisting on serious injury cases. Experience in catastrophic injury cases is highly desirable. Alongside strong technical knowledge, you will have excellent negotiation and communication skills, the ability to manage a significant caseload, and a client-focused approach that ensures individuals receive the highest standard of service. You'll need:

• Proven experience handling serious injury claims
• Strong litigation and case management skills
• The ability to work independently whilst supporting junior colleagues
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
• A commitment to achieving outstanding outcomes for clients
