About the role

The Catastrophic Injury team at DWF LLP is one of the largest in the UK and is nationally recognised. We act for a large number of insurers, many of whom are household names, dealing with complex, catastrophic and large loss claims. The team deals with a range of files including RTA, Diesease and EL/PL matters.

As Associate you will be responsible for handling your own case load of fast track and multi-track EL/PL files, as well as providing assistance to a busy Partner / Senior Associate by undertaking day to day tasks on a caseload of catastrophic injury claims.

Main Duties:

  • Ensure, in conjunction with the Partner/Senior Associate, that cases are progressed as quickly and efficiently as possible and that all relevant timetables are strictly adhered to.
  • Understand client requirements and manage cases in line with service level agreements and best practice;
  • Analyse risk and further develop sound judgement enabling the justification of decisions to clients internally and externally;
  • Prioritise work effectively and to maximise efficiency in working practices;
  • Understand individual role in the context of the practice group and pro-actively seek to contribute to increased efficiency in developing a case load appropriate to level of technical, legal knowledge;
  • Build working relationships internally and externally in order to develop business networks and create a solid understanding of the Firms direction and client needs;
  • Develop increased levels of technical and commercial knowledge via training or supervised working practices.
  • Achieve time recording targets split between chargeable and investment time in any one financial year;
  • Achieve individual financial targets in line with sales plan;
  • Ensure all Management Information is kept updated.

About you

We are seeking applications from candidates with a minimum of 4-6 years experience who are able to demonstrate a real interest in employer's liability, public liability and catastrophic injury work, and who will have gained experience of handling higher value defendant personal injury files either in their own right or as assistants to more senior lawyers. We are seeking a team player with strong communication skills and attention to detail. We are also seeking a candidate who is familiar with working in a commercial environment.

What we offer

At DWF, we deeply appreciate the significance of offering a comprehensive rewards package that extends beyond a basic salary. Our commitment is to ensure that each member of our team not only feels valued but is also duly rewarded throughout their tenure with us. Upon joining our organisation, you will have the opportunity to select from a diverse array of benefits, allowing you to carefully tailor a package that perfectly aligns with your individual needs and those of your family.
