A prestigious top-tier national law firm, renowned for its expertise in defendant insurance litigation, is seeking to recruit a Serious Injury Solicitor to support the continued growth and expansion of its team.

This role offers the opportunity to work closely with a highly respected Partner and senior colleagues on high-value, complex claims across motor, employer’s liability, public liability, and indemnity matters.

The role involves attending court hearings and conferences, adhering to client SLAs and reporting requirements, and contributing to the team’s business development efforts through training, case clinics, and marketing initiatives.
