OL/EL/PL Solicitor

• Remote-first role with flexibility to work from Macclesfield if you prefer
• Run your own OL/EL/PL caseload from day one, full ownership, no hand-holding
• Growing team with clear progression as the department expands

If you’re confident running liability claims and want more control over your caseload, this role gives you the space to do it properly.

You’ll step into a growing OL/EL/PL team with a consistent flow of work, handling your own files from instruction through to settlement or trial. This isn’t about assisting or being drip-fed work, you’ll be trusted to manage claims end-to-end, make decisions, and keep things moving.

In the first few months, the priority is getting up to speed and taking ownership of your caseload. From there, you’ll build momentum, developing your technical approach, strengthening your negotiation skills, and broadening your exposure across different types of employer’s liability, public liability and occupiers’ liability claims.

The setup is straightforward: flexibility around where you work, a supportive but non-intrusive environment, and genuine room to progress as the department grows. If you want to be judged on how well you run your files rather than how closely you’re managed, you’ll feel at home here.

Who we’re looking for

• Solicitor or Fee Earner with 2+ years’ OL/EL/PL experience
• Proven ability to run claims from inception through to trial
• Experience handling a range of employer’s liability, public liability and occupiers’ liability claims
• Strong client care and communication skills
• Confident using case management systems (Proclaim experience beneficial) (Desired)
• Able to work independently and manage a full caseload
• Organised, detail-focused and commercially aware

What you’ll be doing

• Managing your own caseload of OL/EL/PL claims
• Handling matters from instruction through to settlement or trial
• Advising clients clearly and practically throughout the claims process
• Investigating liability and quantum, building case strategy
• Liaising with experts, counsel, insurers and third parties
• Maintaining strong file management and compliance standards

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
• Remote working available with flexibility to attend the Macclesfield office
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Clear progression opportunities as the team grows
• Supportive, non-corporate working environment
