Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom Davies Full time
About This Opportunity

This is an excellent chance to work within the Complex Injury Claims Team dealing with large loss claims. In this role, you will assist the lead lawyers on more complex claims, as well as running your own multi-track files, which may include EL/PL, as well as RTA claims.

Experience of indemnity, liability, and complex medical issues is preferred, and excellent attention to detail is essential. The role also includes the need to engage with senior claims handlers in long-standing insurance clients. You will also be required to assist your Lead Lawyer in activities that enhance and develop Davies' profile.

Key Responsibilities
  • Work as part of a team progressing each file from receipt of papers from the insurer client to resolution of the claim, dealing with all aspects of liability and quantum, as well as indemnity issues that arise.
  • Manage a caseload of approximately 45 large loss complex injury claims, consisting typically of up to values of £1m.
  • Communicate with insurer clients, advising them on all aspects of claims and keeping them updated as the matter progresses.
  • Develop relationships with Davies' clients in order to attract work on an instruction-by-instruction basis.
  • Draft all pleadings, including defences and counter schedules, in complex cases.
  • Perform forensic analysis of voluminous liability and quantum evidence, identifying anomalies and other relevant information across various sources and categories of evidence.
  • Draft concise technical advice on all aspects of claim handling, including indemnity, liability, quantum, causation, and strategy.
  • Build rapport with solicitors for other parties in order to engage meaningfully with them to progress the matter to conclusion and achieve excellent results for our clients.
  • Attend site visits, MDT meetings, client meetings, mediation, and JSMs.
  • Engage with counsel and experts in conference and on the telephone.
  • Deliver agreed performance targets and quality standards.
  • Record chargeable hours per day.
  • Delegate to more junior members of the team and be fully engaged in their development in terms of technical ability and achievement of objectives.
  • Maintain case management systems with up to date management information for clients.
  • Ensure compliance with the SRA standards and regulations.
Requirements

As well as all the usual key ingredients that make you a successful lawyer, we are essentially looking for:

  • A qualified solicitor, CILEX, or proven relevant legal experience is essential.
  • High value multi-track personal injury file handling experience.
  • Experience of handling cases in excess of £100K.
  • Group litigation and/or claims against the police experience would be highly advantageous.
  • An understanding of case law and litigation practice and process, and Court Practice Rules.
  • A strong knowledge of relevant insurance principles.
  • The ability to weigh facts, apply the law, and make decisions.
  • A driven attitude to achieve and take development opportunities when they arise, with a positive attitude.
  • Calm under pressure, with the ability to re-prioritise and delegate effectively when required.
  • Confidence to take initiative to innovate and adapt to changing situations.
  • Confidence to seek advice and guidance when dealing with new tasks.
  • The ability to follow instruction and with attention to detail, and to give clear instruction, direction, and guidance to more junior members of the team.
