You’ll play a key role as a technical specialist, supporting fee earners, team leaders and managers with legal queries, valuations, audits and quality control across litigated and non‑litigated PI matters.

• Conducting technical and quality audits across the team
• Sharing emerging case law and industry developments

• Ensuring regulatory compliance and quality standards are met
• Supporting complaints handling in line with regulatory requirements

What they’re looking for

• Qualified Solicitor or Fellow of CILEX
• Solid experience handling Personal Injury claims, including litigated matters
• Good working knowledge of OIC, Small Claims, Fast Track and Intermediate Track
• Strong technical knowledge of PI litigation and court procedures
• High attention to detail and quality standards
• Confident communicator with strong written and verbal skills
• A collaborative, solutions‑focused mindset

• £40,000 – £45,000 basic salary
• Opportunity to move into a non‑fee earning technical role
• Hybrid or remote working options (role dependent)
• Structured performance reviews and support
• Exposure across OIC to Multi‑Track and Catastrophic Injury work
• Clear long‑term development and internal mobility opportunities

Interested?

If you’re a PI Solicitor or CILEX Lawyer looking for a technical, quality‑focused role with genuine work‑life balance and progression, I’d be very happy to discuss this confidentially.
