Carpenters Group is continuing to invest in Scotland, and their Glasgow team is expanding. If you're an experienced Solicitor with a passion for litigation and RTA Personal Injury work, this is your chance to get in early and grow with them.

This is more than just a job — it’s an opportunity to work on a broad range of RTA matters (Pursuer-led with some Defender work), including litigated cases at Sheriff Court and ASPIC level, within a firm that truly values its people.

• Providing high-quality, timely legal advice to clients and managing expectations throughout the process.
• Identifying cases suitable for litigation early and pursuing them proactively.
• Taking a pragmatic approach to settlement discussions and cost-risk analysis.
• Liaising with medical experts, insurers, defenders’ solicitors and other key stakeholders.
• Thriving in a performance-focused but supportive team environment.
• Hitting and exceeding KPIs around settlement, profit costs, and issuing.

What we’re looking for:

• Strong experience handling RTA Personal Injury cases under the Scottish Protocol.
• Skilled in both PI and non-PI RTA work pre-litigation.
• Confident in drafting and running litigated RTA cases (mainly Pursuer side) at Sheriff Court level.
• Adept with case management systems and Microsoft Office.
• Clear communicator who builds great client relationships.
• A self-starter who’s equally comfortable working independently and in a team.
