Job description

Overview

Catastrophic Injury Solicitor – Associate / Senior Associate – Fantastic flexible opportunity with leading catastrophic injury team.

Location: Any UK location (including Scotland) • Working Pattern: Hybrid / Fully Remote • Salary: Up to £65,000 DOE • Level: Solicitor or Legal Executive (3+ PQE, complex injury experience)

One of our leading law firm clients is growing a team which allows lawyers to work flexibly in a brand new initiative. This is an exciting and flexible new opportunity designed for experienced catastrophic injury lawyers seeking to combine high-quality work with greater control over their working lives. The programme enables Associates to work across the firm’s national catastrophic and complex injury teams, providing both exceptional variety and a high degree of autonomy.

Purpose of the role

The initiative was developed to offer maximum flexibility to Associates while supporting the firm’s ability to deploy skilled lawyers where they are needed most. Each position is permanent, offering the full Associate benefits package and competitive salary, with the added advantage of flexible working arrangements — including options for extended leave and sabbaticals. Originally designed to support lawyers returning from family or caring responsibilities, the programme has evolved to appeal to mid-level Associates seeking accelerated development or a more balanced career structure.

How it works

Associates in this team are seconded internally to different catastrophic injury departments depending on business needs — for example:

• Covering maternity or long-term sick leave
• Supporting a team experiencing an influx of new work
• Assisting with major new client matters

At the end of each attachment, you may join another team in need of support or take advantage of the flexible time-off arrangements available under this model. At all times, you remain a permanent and valued employee of the firm.

Key features

• Exposure to top-tier catastrophic injury work across multiple teams and partners
• Permanent employment with full Associate salary and benefits
• Freedom to take extended leave or sabbaticals to suit personal goals
• Opportunity to broaden your experience within a market-leading national firm
