Serious Injury Solicitor

• Handle just 10–15 serious injury files at a time, allowing you to focus on quality over volume
• Work on life-changing catastrophic injury claims with direct client contact from day one
• Hybrid working, up to £75,000 plus bonus and a clear pathway to Partnership

This is a role built around making a genuine difference.

Rather than measuring success by the number of files you can move through your desk, you’ll be trusted to focus on achieving the very best outcomes for people whose lives have changed forever.

You’ll manage a carefully controlled caseload of serious and catastrophic injury claims, working closely with clients, their families and multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams to secure early treatment, interim payments and long-term support. The work is varied, challenging and incredibly rewarding, with exposure to complex brain injuries, spinal injuries, amputations, fatal accidents and other life-changing claims.

You’ll also join a collaborative team that believes the best results come from working together. Complex cases are handled using a pyramid structure, giving you direct access to experienced senior lawyers while allowing you to play a meaningful role throughout each claim.

• Experience managing a serious or catastrophic injury caseload
• Experience handling higher-value, complex personal injury claims
• Experience supervising or mentoring junior colleagues (Desired)
• Excellent analytical, drafting and research skills
• Strong communication and negotiation skills
• Excellent case management and organisational skills
• Business development or networking experience (Desired)
• Empathetic, client-focused and collaborative approach

What you’ll be doing

• Managing a low-volume caseload of approximately 10–15 serious and catastrophic injury claims
• Advising clients who have suffered brain injuries, spinal injuries, amputations, multiple fractures, fatal accidents and other life-changing injuries
• Securing early rehabilitation, interim payments and ongoing support for clients
• Working closely with medical professionals, rehabilitation providers and care experts
• Negotiating settlements and progressing claims through litigation where required
• Representing clients at hearings where appropriate
• Mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to a collaborative team environment
• Supporting networking, charity partnerships and community initiatives

Salary & Benefits

• Annual bonus of up to 10% based on billings and chargeable hours
• Hybrid working (3 days in the office initially, reducing to 2 after probation)
• Flexible start and finish times
• Low-volume caseload focused on quality client care
• Regular CPD and funded training
• Clear progression pathway:
  • Associate
  • Senior Associate
  • Partner
• Modern Manchester office with excellent transport links
• Wellbeing support and genuine work-life balance
• Opportunity to work alongside charities and rehabilitation organisations supporting seriously injured people
