The Candidate

• Qualified Solicitor with experience in personal injury litigation
• Exposure to large loss or multi-track claims (defendant or claimant background considered)
• Strong drafting and analytical skills with excellent attention to detail
• Confident communicator with a commercial, client-focused approach
• Proactive team player, able to work independently when needed
• Strong organisational and time-management skills
• Enthusiastic about learning, development, and long-term career progression

The Benefits

• Competitive basic salary – up to £55,000 depending on experience
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, with holiday purchase options
• Private medical insurance and enhanced pension scheme
• Hybrid working and flexible work arrangements
• Structured career development and progression
