OL/EL/PL Solicitor

• Remote-first role with the flexibility to work from the Macclesfield office whenever you prefer
• Take full ownership of your own Employer’s Liability, Public Liability and Occupiers’ Liability caseload
• Join a growing litigation team with genuine opportunities to progress as the department expands

If you’re an EL/PL solicitor or fee earner who’s ready to be trusted with your own caseload, this could be the move you’ve been looking for.

From day one, you’ll inherit a varied caseload covering employer’s liability, public liability and occupiers’ liability claims. As you settle into the role, you’ll continue refining your technical expertise, building strong relationships with clients and developing your approach across a broad range of liability matters.

The team has been built around flexibility and trust. You’ll have the freedom to work remotely while remaining part of a supportive, collaborative environment where help is always available when you need it. As the department continues to grow, there will be plenty of scope to take on greater responsibility and develop your career.
