Associate Solicitor / Senior Associate - Casualty

We are looking for a Casualty Solicitor (5-10 PQE) to join our Casualty team in Leeds or Manchester. At present, the dedicated team comprises of 6 fee earners, a Partner, Senior Associate, Associate, Solicitor, Trainee and Paralegal.

As an Associate or Senior Associate in our Casualty team, you'll manage a diverse and varied caseload, providing defendant work to insurers on a wide variety of disputes, including those relating to employers liability and public liability within the social care, equine and construction sectors. You'll support the Head of Department in supervising junior team members and achieving departmental goals. The role involves working on a mixed case load of fast track, intermediate and multi-track work primarily on cases funded under legal expenses insurance policies, with opportunities to expand into privately funded matters.

We're all about people | We win together | We strive for better | We enjoy the everyday | We think further

Who we are:

A law firm, independently authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

We handle a broad range of legal services for our policyholders, associations and leading businesses across a range of sectors. Our teams are spread across offices in Manchester, Leeds, London and Croydon, employing over 60 lawyers. We are recognised as leading experts across commercial, civil, personal injury, employment and regulatory law often handling complex, high value claims and disputes with a unique focus on commerciality and client outcomes rather than profit.

We hold the individual's right to self-determination in the highest light, providing an atmosphere in which people can reach their personal potential. The approach is one of spontaneity and flexibility. We have the ability to make decisions or change course quickly unlike other large law firms.

Part of the wider group, part of a Fortune 500 company with over 60 offices in 20+ countries, is a holding company for insurance, reinsurance, specialist advisory, and investment operations around the world.

What you'll be doing:

Here our Associates and Senior Associates within our Casualty team work as part of the wider Law team. Your day-to-day activities will involve managing a diverse caseload of disputes, including those relating to employers liability and public liability within the social welfare, equine and construction sectors. You'll have a mixed case load of fast track, intermediate and multi-track work.

The role will involve providing our clients with an efficient and courteous service at all times while delivering on billing and other key performance indicators. In addition to this we would look to you to act as a mentor and supervise junior solicitors and paralegals, helping them achieve their targets and develop their skills.

The role will also allow you the opportunity to develop your understanding of the insurance industry, by undertaking additional qualifications, and the contribution an insurance panel law firm can make to the success of a large insurance company.

Skills & Experience:

Experience:

5-10 years of post-qualification experience (PQE) in Casualty / PI
Have existing defendant personal injury litigation experience in both EL/PL and professional liability claims involving personal injury

We win together

Teamwork is key, and everyone has a seat at the table.
