Job description

Overview

Personal Injury Solicitor (Claimant)
Salary: upto £60,000 DOE
Experience Required: 8+ PQE - Grade A
Location: East Midlands (Nottingham area – multiple offices available)

I’m working with a well-established claimant law firm in the East Midlands that is looking to appoint a Senior Personal Injury Solicitor as part of its continued growth. This is a quality-focused role within a stable and well-resourced department, offering sensible caseloads and long-term progression.

The firm is not a volume practice, has no links to claims management companies, and does not handle low-value OIC RTA claims. As a result, solicitors are able to focus on properly run, litigated PI work with an emphasis on client care and outcomes rather than numbers.

The Role

• Handle a caseload of litigated personal injury matters, including EL/ PL/ OL and RTA
• Manage cases efficiently from instruction through to conclusion
• Support the wider team and contribute to the continued development of the PI department
• Assist with the generation of new work through excellent client service and local reputation

The Ideal Candidate

• Qualified Solicitor with strong experience in claimant personal injury
• Comfortable handling litigated PI matters independently
• Solid technical knowledge across personal injury claims
• Organised, IT-literate and self-sufficient in managing files
• Commercially aware with a client-focused approach

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary up to £60,000, depending on experience
• Hybrid and flexible working (3 days office/ 2 days home working)
• Choice of working from multiple offices across the East Midlands
• Sensible caseloads
• Supportive department with secretarial and team support
• Clear opportunity for progression within a stable, growing firm
• Friendly, professional and collaborative working culture
