Job description

Personal Injury Lawyer

South Manchester

Our client is a well-established and highly regarded high street law firm with a reputation for providing excellent client service within a friendly, supportive, and collaborative working environment. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Personal Injury lawyer to join a growing team that genuinely values its people and offers clear opportunities for long-term career progression and development.

The Role

The successful candidate will manage their own varied caseload, predominantly consisting of non-motor personal injury matters, including:

• Employers' Liability (EL)
• Public Liability (PL)
• Highways Act claims
• Product Liability claims
• Other non-motor personal injury matters

Whilst there will be some higher-value Road Traffic Accident (RTA) claims, previous RTA experience is not essential for this position.

The caseload will involve dealing with claim values ranging from lower-value Fast Track cases through to substantial Multi-Track litigation.

The firm provides ongoing supervision and support, but the successful candidate will be expected to handle routine matters with a high degree of autonomy while contributing positively to the wider team.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will ideally:

• Be a qualified Solicitor, Chartered Legal Executive or experienced Fee Earners
• Have a minimum of 3 years' experience managing a predominantly non-motor personal injury caseload.
• Have a proven track record of working towards and achieving performance targets.
• Be keen to play an active role within a collaborative non-motor claims team.
• Have a willingness to support the development of junior colleagues, including assisting with training and providing guidance on less complex matters where appropriate.

What's on Offer?

• A welcoming and friendly team environment.
• A respected high street firm with a strong local reputation.
• Genuine career progression opportunities.
• Varied and interesting caseload of claimant personal injury work.
• Supportive management and ongoing professional development.
• The opportunity to become a valued member of a close-knit and collaborative team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious personal injury lawyer looking to join a firm where they can further develop their career whilst enjoying a positive and supportive working culture.
